Hi, I use Chax only 4 few days, but I have little problem, everytime I set sending just plain text, works everythink good, until I shutdown MB. After next start when I write to somebody with adium or QIP there are html tags, so I must reinstal CHAX and restart iChat. Anybody know whats wrong?? I have MB with MacOS 10.6.2 THX

MysticalOS: Those messages are coming from Adobe Unit Types, not Chax.

Chax is working but it’s putting stuff in console of note

I just switched over to using iChat with Chax due to Adium constantly crashing. Chax is 99% of what I want, and if these two features are added, it would be 100% (if this isn’t the right place to request features, I’d appreciate it if someone could point me to it).

1. Combine accounts in the unified window. Currently, .Mac accounts are combined with AIM accounts, and GTalk with Jabber, but if a single account has both AIM and Jabber accounts, I’d like to see them as a single item.

2. Sort by name in the unified window. Sorting by first name isn’t sufficient; I want (for example) Jeff A to sort before Jeff B.

The two in combination are the big issue: Currently, my combined window often has:
Jeff A (on AIM)
Jeff C (on GTalk)
Jeff A (on GTalk)
Jeff C (on AIM)
Jeff B (any acct)

Where I’d like to see:
Jeff A (all)
Jeff B (all)
Jeff C (all)

If some of this functionality is already in Chax and I’m just doing it wrong, let me know what I need to change. If it’s not there, it would be great to see it added. And if any of the above isn’t sufficiently clear, please let me know.

Thanks!

For anyone who is having trouble with Chax not working after restarting or logging out and back in, make sure that the ChaxHelperApp application is listed in your account’s login items in the Accounts preference pane. If it is not, you can manually add it by doing the following:

- Navigate to ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions in the Finder (~ is your home folder).
- Show Package Contents on ChaxAddition.osax navigate into Contents/MacOS.
- Launch ChaxHelperApp, and add ChaxHelperApp to your list of login items in the Account preference pane.

That should ensure that Chax works across restarts. I’m hoping to get this fixed in a future release.
