New Post: Invalid Folder

georg08 — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 09:45:09 GMT

Hi Feranndo,
thanks for your quick reply. I have found the problem, it's nothing major, but I found out that you can't run the program from a network share. (iit will not even show the GUI) but crash. When run from a local drive all is fine. So I can live with it. Thanks again for providing this piece of software!

Have a great day,
George

Hi George,
Hmm, can't say it's a known issue what you're describing so we'll have to gather a bit more information: does it also happen when you're running from the GUI mode (just run the utility without any parameters)? The answer will give me an understanding of where to find the problem.
In addition, can you please run the util with verbose tracing level to generate a detailed log file.

Cheers,
F

Thanks for providing that software, really something I was looking for to merge my files.

However I'm getting an invalid Folder error every time I try to run the program

MsnHistoryMerger.exe /histpath1:d:\temp\myid2715799591\Verlauf /histpath2:"d:\temp\Temp\Verlauf" /mergepath:D:\temp\merged
For help and details, please visit the project home page
http://www.codeplex.com/MsnHistoryMerger

Use the argument /? to get help on the command line mode

[2008-09-06 13:39:16] Invalid folder "d:\temp\myid2715799591\Verlauf" providedin the argument histpath1
[2008-09-06 13:39:16] Invalid folder "d:\temp\Temp\Verlauf" provided in the argument histpath2

I have checked the paths and retried several times withouth success. The entered path name cannot be wrong by any means and I tried with and without apostrophs, without any success.

Do you have any suggestions.

George

Good news!
I've added support for command line execution mode - check the Releases page for version 1.6.

The command line is mode is identified by passing arguments from the command line. Here's the help section added for the command line:


Usage:
MsnHistoryMerger.exe /histpath1:full_path /histpath2:full_path /mergepath:full_path [/tracinglevel:trace_level] [/addsingles:true_false] [/purgemerge:true_false] [/addxsl:true_false]

where:
histpath1 - is the full path to the 1st history folder
histpath2 - is the full path to the 2nd history folder
mergepath - is the full path to the merging folder
tracinglevel - is the optional tracing level with one of the following values: Off, Error, Warning, Info or Verbose (defualt: Info)
addsingles - is a flag indicating to add single files to the merging folder (default: true)
purgemerge - is a flag indicating to purge the merging folder before synchronising (default: true)
addxsl - is a flag indicating to add the transformation files to the merging folder (default: true)

Sample:
MsnHistoryMerger.exe /histpath1:"c:\users\myself\Documents\My Received Files\myprofile0123456789\History" /histpath2:"c:\temp\hist2" /mergepath:"c:\temp\merge"

Enjoy!

Hi,
Just a simple question: does the save history option have to be selected of keeping history in messenger or does it save these xml files alltoether?
----

And my answer:
Hi Ronald,
The anser is absolutely yes: this tool works on the history files generated by the Messenger. Those files are genered by the Messenger only if the Save History option is selected.

Yeah, I'm aware of this issue. During one of the upgrades of the CodePlex web site all my projects lost their source code and corresponding chagesets :(
Good thing I'm always posting the source code alongside the binaries... On the Releases tab you'll find the source code in the "Msn Messenger History Merger v1.3 sources and binaries (zip)" package. It's not ideal, but it will provide you with the full source code.

Enjoy,
Fernando

NEW POST: mail1234 - Archive problem

Malmis — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 01:21:24 GMT

one more cool option would be converting messenger plus (plain text-files) to xml and be possible to merge it with messenger logfiles.
if it's possible.... would be veery nice ;D

NEW POST: mail1234 - Archive problem

Malmis — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 00:15:10 GMT

Hi.
i found out that msn history merger doesnt merge ex. "mail12345 - Archive.xml" with "mail12345.xml".
it would be really nice if that option was implemented so everything is in the same file.
it's not so fun to rename all the files that ends with a "- Archive.xml" or "- Archive (2).xml" and like that..

hope u could implement an option for that ;D

it's a very nice tool and it would be much more nicer if u do that! ;)
