Feature request: Would it be possible to set up iChax to direct file transfers from particular users in my buddy list to go to particular folders? I use the file transfer feature in iChat heavily. However, ALL the files are going into the same folder. At times, I have no way of knowing who sent what. I would like the option to set up a folder for each user (Buddy) so that any transfer from that Buddy goes into their own folder, wherever I set that folder to be.

Thank you for iChax and it’s continuous development.

Also, in the current release (haven’t used the beta) every-time I open up the log viewer, it asks to try and correct the date, even if I clicked yes the previous time.

Kent: GREAT job on a wonderful supplement to iChat. I discovered the Activity log and almost ready to stop using another app to record the same info. Is there a way to save or archive the data shown in the Activity log? A Save As … would be great, or formatting the ~/library/application support/chax/activity.chax file so that it contenst could be read (by TextEdit or Safari maybe). Thanks and keep up the great work!!

Hi, I was just wondering where chax stores the information found in the Activity window for if I ever want to back it up.

Thanks

Awesome awesome software. This clinched my conversion from Adium to iChat.

It looks like plenty of people have already pointed out the “disable close tabs” feature doesn’t work at all (ie. is only cosmetic).

I have one other bug fix/feature request myself. Would it be possible to add a history plugin like Adium’s? For those not familiar with it, it takes the last ten lines of your last conversation with a person, date stamps it, and pastes them into the latest conversation with a person (with appropriate visual cues that it is a “history” and not part of the active chat).

Also, anything you can do to improve Jabber support would be awesome, but I assume that is more of an upstream sort of thing. Thanks again for the great work.
