Adium X's Logs

[Xephian]

Does anyone know how to change the location of Adium's logs location to somewhere other than where it is by default?

If you can't change it in Adium, you could always just try a Finder alias on the Logs folder. That's how I move my Microsoft User Data folder out of my Documents folder. You can even hide the alias with a SetFile command in the Terminal.

Not that I know of. However, the easiest way of dealing with logs is to view them exclusively through adium's Log viewer. Just type Cmd-Shift-L with adium in front, or when talking to somebody type Cmd-L to view previous conversations with them.

Just so I understand what you did, you moved the Microsoft User Data folder to another location, and replaced it in the Documents folder by an Alias to the new location, and then you hid the alias using terminal. Is that what you did?

Thanks.

Yup, that's exactly what I did. (I moved it to my library folder where it should be.)

I tried the alias for Adium's logs, but it didn't work.

Okay, I just did it with a symbolic link in the terminal instead.
