Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / February 2008Relocating iChat save folder?
Is it possible to have iChat save conversations some place other than its built-in (default) location? (it's ~/Documents/iChats or something like that.) I tried replacing the iChat folder with an alias named "iChat" to where I want the conversations to be saved, but it didn't work. No error reported, just didn't work (nothing saved.) If I click on the "open" button in the preferences that opens where it's saving, it does go to the new location, but doesn't seem to chase the alias when it's actually saving. (couldn't find anything either here or at Apple, although there was an indication that if iChat found an alias -- a poster had aliased his Documents folder -- it didn't do the right thing with it.)

No error reported, just didn't work (nothing saved.) You might try a soft link instead. I'm betting that would work. Why do you want to change the location, anyway?

I'm betting that would work. yup, that worked. thanks. (I did eventually find that suggestion buried in some discussion in an apple.com forum, but no response indicating that it worked.) > Why do you want to change the location, anyway? Because I like my files in meaningful places!
