I did a search and didn't find it here previously so here goes: a way to easily bring up the IM log of someone without digging though your folders and thousands of files. Perhaps a history button in the IM window?

On a Mac:

  • Navigate in the usual way to ~/Library/Application Support/Second Life/<your name> or wherever you keep your chat/IM logs.
  • In the usual search box at top right type ".txt" (without the quotes), and select File Name search, to display your chat log files. OK this will also display typed_locations.txt and search_history.txt, but you can deal with that, right?
  • Click on the search bar Save button to save your selection as a Smart Folder under a useful name. It will now appear in your Finder sidebar.
  • Click on the Smart Folder icon to make sure it works. When the window opens, try typing a resident name in the search box. Finder will display not only the log for that person, but every log in which that resident's name is mentioned. Nifty!
  • Enjoy.

I'm sure you can do something similar in your OS of choice. I mean, if you're using something other than OS/X it must be because it is better, right? ;)

The last few lines of the log history are already displayed in the IMs window when it gets opened. It's currently limited to 2048 characters, but the next releases will have this number made configurable.
