Shoot, I meant to post to the list as well, sorry about that -- Just
reorganized my toolbar buttons and I'm not used to the new layout yet.
I can't say that I've used that particular feature, so unfortunately
that's one I can't comment on. I doubt there's anything in the registry
that would help though, since pidgin is crossplatform. I took a quick
gander through the preferences XMLs and didn't see any obvious knobs
that might change this behaviour.

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?\
