It was released by The Adium Team.
How to open CHATLOG file?
The most common problem when using Adium Chat Log is that a specific CHATLOG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CHATLOG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CHATLOG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adium
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adium is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Adium into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CHATLOG files.
Programs to open CHATLOG file
Remember to download programs supporting CHATLOG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adium with CHATLOG files
If, despite the installed application, the CHATLOG file does not start in the Adium application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CHATLOG file with the Adium application.
Step 3. Update Adium to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adium with Adium Chat Log there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Adium Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CHATLOG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The CHATLOG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CHATLOG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CHATLOG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CHATLOG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CHATLOG files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CHATLOG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CHATLOG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CHATLOG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CHATLOG to close. However, some background programs may block the CHATLOG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
