What it does:
Do you use Trillian on multiple computers to chat? IMmerge can synchronize your IM logs together, in chronological order. It can even merge in certain logs from the original clients (ICQ Pro/2003b, ICQ Lite/5.1, MSN 7.5/Windows Live Messenger). All merged logs come out as Trillian-format.
New in 1.0: GUI, XML <-> LOG conversion, new engine, and more!
IMmerge supports:
- merging classic text logs (.LOG) from all versions of Trillian 0.74 - 4.1, Basic and Pro.
- merging new XML logs (.XML) from Trillian 3.0+ Basic and Pro. This means you can continue to view your history with the Trillian Pro history viewer.
- converting ICQ Pro (98-2003b) logs into Trillian LOG and XML, automatically during merging
- converting ICQ Lite (4.0-5.1) logs into Trillian LOG and XML, automatically during merging
- converting MSN (7.5) and WLM (8.0+) logs into Trillian LOG and XML, automatically during merging
What it doesn't do:
- It doesn't compare the message text itself. It only compares session timestamps.
- It doesn't yet produce XML logs from Trillian text logs, or vice-versa. It also does not do conversion to anything except Trillian logs. These will all be addressed in a future version.
- It doesn't re-sort the messages. If for some reason your messages are out of order, they will stay in that order. (It is fine if two logs overlap, as long as each individual log is in correct chronological order.)
- Does not support logs from any version of MSN Messenger for Mac or Microsoft Messenger for Mac.
- "Probably" does not support ICQ 6.0 logs - you can try.
Requirements:
A basic knowledge of how to use the command-line.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
- Java version 1.4 or greater (for IMmerge 0.x)
- Java version 6 or greater (for IMmerge 1.0+)
If you plan to merge ICQ Pro logs:
- ICQ History Reader
- converts ICQ 98/99/2000/2001/2002 databases to HTML format
- this is not necessary for ICQ Lite
