Since this newest version. None of my communication logs work and 3 of them reset to unchecked each time i load SL. The 3 that reset to unchecked are Log Chat, Show Timestamps in Chat Log, Show incoming IM in Chat Log.

Since I log all my messages this is a PAIN. the only way i can is to ctrl-c and ctrl-v into notepad.

FIX THIS.

Thanks

Chat logging settings don't persist (http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6265)

1) Log on to SL with the RC
2) Advanced / Debug Settings...
3) Type: UserSettingsFile
4) Change the settings.xml at the end to settings_per_account.xml
5) Edit / Preferences, IM tab
6) Check/uncheck whatever settings you want
7) Close SL (if you crash, it won't save settings so do close right after changing them)
8) Done :)

(Note: if you want to change them, you'll have to go through the steps once more and since it's per account, you'll have to do it for each alt)
They accepted the code fix the same day RC1 came out, but it is fixed internally and will hopefully make it into RC2 :).

-settings whatevername.xml

Used to do this, 'till they decided to "improve" the xml file, wich is now a giant mess instead.

Good going ^.~

--- does excactly the same but look at huge diffrence ---

old xml;
------------------------------------------------------------
<InstantMessageLogPath value="path" />

new xml;
------------------------------------------------------------
- <map>
<key>Comment</key>

<string>Path to your log files.</string>

<key>Type</key>

<string>String</string>

<key>Value</key>

<string>path</string>
</map>
