Thread: Message History View

  1. #1

    Message History View

    Hi all,

    I would like to be able to view message history fully expanded instead of having to click on each post to view the content.

    I have had a browse through and searched the forums also the plugins page but nothing stood out.

    I imagine given the number of plugins listed someone would have come up with this.

    Am I right?

    Cheers,

    Bryan

    I'd recommend History++

    For a link please refer to the "Plugin discussion threads and download links" sticky: http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=7758 (look under "History)

    (or check the Addons site again, History++ is listed under "Most Popular Plugins": http://addons.miranda-im.org/)

    But History++ only helps us view history when right-click on someone in the list, not be able to view all the message archives, right?

    Yes, but unlike the default history viewer, it does not require 'clicking on each post to view the content' :)

    If you would like to view all conversations with all contacts in one window, you could install Message Export to have all messages exported automatically to one text file, or you could use this trick:

    You're welcome, I'm glad that helped :)

    @Kaen:

    You might also try History Log. I haven't used it myself, but I think it should be able to log all messages to one file too. Please note though that it's a pretty new plugin and is still in an alpha stage. Also, it requires History Events (and Miranda 0.7+) to work.

    Right click on Miranda icon in the tray please and select Main Menu >> History Search. Do not enter any keywords in the "Search for" field - just click on the "Search" button :)

    Probably not. Unless something has changed in the latest alpha builds.

    Thanks for letting me know. Yeah, it looks like the button is disabled otherwise (I always have "Limit Event Types" enabled so I haven't noticed :S ). You may want to post about it in the History++ thread.
