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!
New in 1.05: Fixes and improvements in timestamp, group chat and IRC parsing.

IMmerge supports:

  • merging classic text logs (.LOG) from all versions of Trillian 0.74 - 4.2, 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 between Trillian plain-text (.LOG) and XML, automatically during merging
  • 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 re-sort the messages. That means if you decide to put a random session into the middle, it will stay there. IMmerge will merge your logs in chronological order as best it can without messing up the original 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:

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

  • Java version 1.4 or greater (for IMmerge 0.x)
  • Java version 6 or greater (for IMmerge 1.0+)
