I think a useful feature of the history plugin might be an import- and
export-function as it offers Psi with a simple "export..." button in the
history window. this way one could import p.e. from gaim or psi
histories or export them from kopete (when switching from one client to
another or when using kopete on different boxes). Editing directly the
log file is quite a lot of work just to have a complete history.

I've just moved from Gaim to Kopete, and a function to import my chat

The dupe mentions use of xsltproc to do a conversion manually, but it
appears likely to be non-trivial to come up with a solution using that
(unless someone else has a clue at hand).

I'm using Pidgin at the moment but I'm thinking about changing to Kopete. When 
I've checked Kopete 3.5 years ago and compared it to Pidgin (back then still

But in the last years Kopete has really improved so I would like to use Kopete 
as my main chat-program.
My Problem is that I have 3.5 years of important chat logs which I definitively 
don't want to loose. So a way to import my Pidgin logs to Kopete is a must have 
for me.
Are there any news or some kind of workaround?

Go to the history viewer dialog (e.g. right-click on a buddy -> view
history) and then click on the button in the top which says "import
history".

Good luck,

You could achieve a backup or transfer of different histories very easily 
through saving, moving or copying kopete's log folder 
(HOME/.kde/share/apps/kopete/logs).
I don't think that it would be necessary to have such a feature as part of the 
history plugin. Do you?

Greetings,
Timo

This isn't working with kopete from KDE 4.5.2. When trying to import the
history for one of my contacts I get an error window with title "Cannot
Map Nickname to Account", and asking me which was my nickname on that
history, but it starts to show random contacts from my list. For
example, trying with a MSN contact, on the details text I see the
following error:

WARNING: Cannot find matching account for xx...@hotmail.com (msn).

Doing some testing, it seems the problem is with the name of the
protocol directory on pidgin logs. For example, for MSN protocol, on
~/.purple/logs the directory is named "msn", but kopete directory on
~/.kde4/share/apps/kopete/logs is "WlmProtocol". If you rename pidgin's
msn directory to "WlmProtocol" and then try to import the logs on
kopete, the import process won't fail and it will start asking you which
was your nickname on the conversations (which is very annoying btw, but
it's a different issue), and apparently, it correctly imports your
contacts.

I have other observations about this feature but probably they deserve
their own bug report. If so then please tell me and I'll open them:

1. accents and other characters (á, é, í, ó, ñ, etc) appear screwed, there's 
some encoding issue on the conversion.
2. The import history feature is badly placed: you access it when looking at a 
contact's history, but when you click on the "import History" it will import 
all history for all contacts of all accounts (not sure of this last one but 
it'll surely will do it for all contacts of the contact's protocol). If I'm 
looking at a contact's history, I expect that that "Import History..." button 
imports _that_ user history, not the history from all contacts in all accounts. 
Thsi feature should be moved to kopete's configuration dialog or to the File 
dialog, bellow the "Export contacts" entry.
3. It's REALLY annoying that the import feature asks hundreds of times which 
was my nickname on the history logs. I suppose this is because it isn't easy to 
detect on a pidgin's conversation which contact is from the user importing the 
history and which one is from the person(s) he was talking to ?

I just submitted a patch to the kopete people that takes different
protocol-names into consideration.

Utf-8 is now set as codec for .txt file imports, which should be pidgins
default (please alert me if it is not so!).

I agree. Let's see what the kopete people suggest ...

That's right, only the .html pidgin-log-files contain valuable information 
about which nicknames are the importers ones.
The patch also contains a new algorithm that should fire much less queries 
about the used nicknames. Maybe you could test the import once again as soon as 
the patch made it into the trunk?
