My Sessions are on Fire!

Due to popular demand, new version of Chat Transcript Manager will support (among other things) Fire.

Fire stores chat logs in three formats: the oldest, the old, and the new. Thanks to Graham Booker for some excellent insight on how to parse these, I now am ready to crunch them in.

There's a slight problem, though... I have a bunch of newer (.xhtml) format logs, but almost none of .session and .session2 format logs.

Now, drum roll, the question and request: do we want .session and .session2 log files support? How many of you have that in your Sessions folder (~/Library/Application Support/Fire/Sessions/)? Due to the format of the logs, parsing could be tricky for these.

A request: if you do think we should support .session and .session2 logs, email some that you have (the ones that are not private enough) to email: kek (bur). If I get some, I'll be able to build a parser.

And thanks, as usual! <3

Digg This!

I don't have any .session or .session2 files so here is 1 vote for leave them out.

How about a vote for support all the old proteus logs I amassed before switching over to Adium X / iChat? :)

i vote for supporting them - i use Fire exclusively on several machines. also, these shouldn't be so tricky to parse - drop a .session or .session2 file on Safari and it pops open as an HTML file!

Support for compressed log files would be very nice. My log directory is now over 500MB and I'd love to compress them like I do with my apache log files.

Any way to trim some of the fat from these logs? I have one that's 187MB! I'd like to yank that pdf from the file. Any ideas?
