- This plugin is improvement over History+. It
- introduces new history layout, as well as new
- features. Some of them are:
-
- * HotSearch -- you can type letters from keyboard
- and plugin searches for letters you have typed so
- far. It's also known as Incremental Search
-
- * Sorting -- you can choose to show recent
- messages on top (ICQ History style) or recent
- messages at bottom (History+ style)
-
- * Filters -- you can filter messages by Incoming,
- Outgoing, URLs, Files events
-
- * Customisation -- you can select different colors
- and different fonts for viewing. You can also set
- up plugin to use default miranda settings
-
- Other features are: URL highlighting, Clipoard
- Copy support, Detail View, full or partial
- history export to HTML, XML or Text, Delete all
- history or selected message(s), Search, Message
- forwarding, Password Protection, hotkeys for all
- actions.
-
-
- Options
- -------
-
- To access options go to System Menu (click icon
- on title of the history window) and select
- Options. You can customise there visual style of
- History++
-
- New in 1.4.0: You can now click "Additional"
- button and select options from the drop-down
- menu.
-
-
- Hotkeys
- -------
-
- Ctrl+C - Copy selected messages
- Ctrl+R - Reply quoted to selected message
- Ctrl+F - Opens Search Dialog
- Ctrl+M - Forward Message
- F3 - Find Next (for Search and HotSearch)
- Shift+F3 - Find Previous (for Search & HotSearch)
- Del - Delete message(s)
- Enter - open details view for selected message
-
-
- Password Protection
- -------------------
-
- This feature appeared in 1.4.0, but still it's
- too weak to be called "protection". That's
- because there's no way to encrypt miranda's DB
- from plugin, so it's stored there in plain text.
- With this feature you can still hide your history
- from some users. But remember:
- YOUR PROTECTED HISTORY CAN BE VIEWED WITH OTHER
- HISTORY PLUGINS OR MIRANDA'S INTERNAL HISTORY
- VIEWER
-
- If you've lost your password, do the following:
- 1) Download DatabaseEditor plugin
- ( http://miranda-im.org/download/details.php?id=336 ),
- 2) Open it, navigate to Current user ->
- HistoryPlusPlus
- 3) Delete record "Password"
- Now your password is blank and you can open any
- contact's history.
-
-
- Mini-FAQ
- --------
-
- * Plugin doesn't load
-
- If History++ plugin doesn't load and another
- history plugin loads instead (or default history
- is used):
-
- Fast solution:
- Rename historypp.dll to (for example) histpp.dll
- and start miranda. At start select histpp.dll
- as history plugin.
- Note: you will have to rename plugin every time
- you update it. So we have here...
-
- Right solution:
- Download and install DatabaseEditor plugin
- ( http://miranda-im.org/download/details.php?id=336 ),
- start miranda and open Database Editor from the
- main menu. In the Database Editor window browse
- to Miranda -> Current user -> PluginDisable and
- delete all records with then name historypp.dll
- (you can have several items, written in different
- cases). Restart miranda and select historypp.dll
- at start as history plugin.
-
-
- * Where are options?
-
- Scroll up, it's written above in the Options
- section of readme.
-
- * I've lost my password for history!
-
- Look for "Password Protection" section in readme
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Just copy the dll into Miranda's plugin
- subdirectory.
