What about the "Close IMs immediately when the tab is closed" feature? When I
have that unchecked it preserves the chat for a seemingly random amount of
time. Sometimes it preserves the chat for an hour, sometimes 2, sometimes only
20 minutes it seems like. What's behind the mechanical room door here? Is
there a registry tweak I can make that will make it preserve the conversation
longer?
Thanks.
------------------------------
pidgin's logs work on a per-chat-window basis, not a per-day basis.
This is by design (and it works well for those of us that chat from
multiple computers and want to merge our logs)
I don't think there is any sort of per-day logging option, although
I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm wondering why Pidgin splits IM conversations into multiple
segments in a single day. For instance, I chat with a coworker
at various times during the day, and the conversation gets
cleared out and logged as multiple segments when I close the IM
window rather than just appearing as one conversation for the
day. It also logs the conversation as multiple segments for the
day. Under 'Preferences' I have 'Close IMs immediately when the
tab is closed' unchecked. This keeps the conversation going for
maybe an hour or so even if I close the window. But if it goes
to 2 hours or more, the conversation gets logged, the window
clears, and a blank window opens when I begin IMing that user
again.
I want IM conversations to stay active for the entire day until
I log off, so at any given time if I reopen the IM window it
will show the entire conversation for the day (instead of it
clearing out and having to reference one of the log segments for
the day). Is there a way to accomplish this?\
