iChat Transcript Manager 1.0a1
Meet iChat Transcript Manager 1.0a1, my little pet project I've been working on weekends for 4 days already. As the name says, the purpose of this app is pretty simple - it will index and keep in a database all your saved iChat transcripts, so you can search through them and sort them. I got almost 3300 chat transcripts saved and being unable to search through them made me frustrated to no end, so I finally sat down and started the work on iCTM. So, for the adventurous minds, below is a link to the very first alpha. It will only scan the saved chats directory upon launch, and in general it's still "first alpha" quality, but it is somewhat useable (to me, at least). I know of plenty of quirks already, but feel free to comment and leave the bug reports in the comments to this entry. iChat Transcript Manager 1.0a1 - 140K. It is an alpha, so it may or it may not work, blah blah blah, download at your own risk, and if you want to recommend this thing to a friend, make sure you link to this blog entry and not the file directly. Thank you and tell me what you think. ;) UPDATE: iCTM is up to 1.0a2 now: here.   Posted by slava at March 30, 2003 03:34 PMTrackback Pings: TrackBack URL for this entry: Related:

Nice... What're you using for the backend? I was going to write something like this. Let me know if you need a hand with any of it, though I doubt you would ;-) Posted by: Joseph Spiros on March 30, 2003 5:51 PMNice; I want an app that will synchronize the iChat directories between two computers. Just copying over the iChat dir doesn't work, as it will overwrite transcripts with the same name. Posted by: Feanor on March 31, 2003 12:34 AMUh oh.. The current one (1.0a2) crashes every time I launch it and try to resize the splitter bar. Posted by: Jason Anderson on April 7, 2003 6:17 PMI take that back. It crashes about 5 seconds after opening... every time. Doesn't matter if I use the Splitter. Do I have too many Chats? Posted by: Jason Anderson on April 7, 2003 6:19 PMI'd like to read some chats you think are particularly entertaining. Would you mind emailing something to me?
