I know I'm off on a tangent here...., Interesting script, I have a thought. I have no idea how difficult it would be but no one else seems to have done it yet. Please correct me if I've missed it! I have searched for a script to archive dialog more so than pictures but a combination of the two would be awesome. Look like it's a possible feature down the road but it's been waiting forever for something or the other to be done. How hard would it be to strip the text from the history files and duplicate it into a contact folder along with their pictures? You could then clear your Chat transcript viewer and know that you having a running history building in the contact folder. What brought this up is a problem with a contact and I have a hunch I've reached a limit on text in the Chat transcript and I want to clear it. The only way I can to save the text is to Print it, no I don't have that much ink, the files are stored in /user/username/application support/adium 2.0/user/default/logs and remind me of the way that iChat used to create a folder in your Documents folder for it's transcripts. Hey it's just a thought! I'll give PalPic's a whirl! once it's Pard Patible:)
