Hi,
My iChat savded chat to Users/(my account)/Documents/iChats and since iChat 4 put them in dated folders.
I have not noticed any that seemed short on bring them back to view.
It worked that iChat 5 and 6 could bring back a Group chat if that was the last Chat you had with the Buddy
(I am using Messages Beta now and it does not do this).
Some group chat I have been in have lasted several hours whilst I have been in them (and continued after I left)
I have not found a limit to the number of IM a saved transcripts can have (If there is a limit)
Do you think it is time limited thing or a IM limited thing ?
NOTE:
Direct IMs where you are sending pics and files is Peer-to-Peer and may not seeming drop the internet if you have login in problems with iChat.
If Logins are dropped the Saving may not work properly.
