GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 333493
Automatic logging of conversations
Last modified: 2006-07-27 23:21:46 UTC
Could we have this feature, like xchat-gtk's one?
Good idea. Maybe it will be interesting to implement something like in Gajim for logs (see http://www.gajim.org/imgs/history_window.png) instead of the classic one file / one channel. It could offer easy search ability into the huge mass of logs files. Gajim implement this using sqllite but maybe we could do this without it if we don't want to add it as dependency.
Cool! Better than gaim one! This will be an outstanding feature over xchat-gtk :)
x-g already implement the logging so we only lack a GUI to see them and enable them by default. Anyway I don't really see the problem with one file = one channel, and I don't think it would be a good idea to break the current format (which mean break the compability w/ xchat-gtk) w/o a good reason.

Also, I do believe that beagle knows how to search xchat logs, which is another reason to keep compatibility; that gives you searching for free.

So, what do we do for logging's stuffs? The easiest way would be to just add an option in the preferences dialog and use xchat's logging feature. We could still implement a nice log reader (like in gajim or gossip) and we keep compatibility with xchat. I think it's the better solution.
I agree, but they don't have to be done at the same time (just turning on logging should be quick though)
Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report. I'll code a pretty logs reader when i'll have time.
