Windows Keep Contents on Re-Open - 26/03/04 05:42 PM
something that i am waiting for since a long time: mirc should be able to restore the buffer contents of my channel windows and queries, when i reopen the windows or when i restart mirc.
background: i am a coder. i am on irc 24/7, my machine is always on. sometimes my machine resets when i am e.g. fiddling with ati's catalyst drivers or something else unexpected happens (e.g. sometimes, remote logins cause the machine to crash). it can also happen that i ask a friend on irc something, then close the window because he's currently not replying. later when he answers i dont know the context to the question anymore. often i have to reconstruct what happened last by reading the logfiles. this gets annoying more and more because i know it doesnt have to be like this. this would be a very nifty complement to mircs "young" keep-windows-open-on-disconnect/kick feature.
of course it should be an option, not enabled by default. i can imagine some paranoid people might have privacy problems with that feature.
