Can't find msg log anymore #7

Closed leandrodb closed 4 years ago

leandrodb commented 4 years ago

I have a msgLog.txt in WhatsDeleted directory with 21Mb of messages before update to v0.2.

The log viewer on the other side shows only messages after the update. Ok, but where's this file? I need to search text in this new file like I did in the old one, using an external txt viewer, but in version 0.2 I couldn't do it anymore.

If the new viewer could do text search, scroll down to latest logged messages, copy and paste, I wouldn't need to use an external text viewer.

But now I just need to open both files, the v0.1 and v0.2 msgLog.txt to find some deleted messages!

Thanks for the publicly licensed app and for the help here!

Hi!

In v0.2, the msgLog.txt was moved to app-specific storage to prevent unauthorized access. So you can view the messages only through the app's viewer.

If you're confident that there will be no unauthorized access of your msgLog.txt & you'd like to use an external text editor, you can use v0.1

Also, I'll be releasing an update soon where the newest messages will be displayed first in the app's viewer, so you won't need to scroll down everytime.

Thanks for the appreciation.
