Hi, AF! I'm new here, but it doesn't look like anybody covered this question yet.
A couple of months back, I accidentally deleted my Adium chat logs (via the Transcript Viewer, if I remember correctly). All I remember is that the files were dumped in my trashcan, after which I immediately went ahead to retrieve them in a new folder on my desktop. I wasn't able to view the chat logs in Adium's Chat Transcript Viewer anymore after that--I'd click on the .chatlog files, and it would bring up the Chat Transcript Viewer, but not the chat record itself.
I left it aside for a few months as I didn't have time to really look into it. Coming back to it now, I'm trying to consolidate everything again (old and new chat logs). My recent chats since the "deleting accident" have been logged, but I can't seem to find the actual folder on my system where they're being logged. They're not in Library>Application Support>Adium 2.0>Users>Default>Logs as I've read a couple of posts say to check out (no folder exists in Application Support other than an Adobe folder). Yet, my recent chats continue to be recorded...somewhere.
Tried hitting ".chatlog" in the Spotlight search. Looks like only the files in the folder I created from the deleting incident are there. (Do all chat logs have this file format anyway?)
I actually realized just now that a handful of old chat logs before the incident are visible on the Chat Transcript Viewer--but not all of them. Something peculiar I noticed on the list when looking at logs for a single contact, however, are that there are a couple of "holes"--a line would show the "To" and "From," but not the date when the chat occurred. Is this related?
I fun Adium 1.5.6 on Mac OS X Version 10.7.5. I don't know if that helps, haha.
