this is probably fixed in this patch http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/thread/35795 (27-29 messages), anyone can try spark.jar uploaded there. it is sving history even on Spark crash.
just to comment, i have never seem such a problem with Spark myself, and i cant reproduce it while closing chat window with all tabs altogether. It saves the history for me.
I changed to Spark from another Jabber client because its history saving was unreliable. Unfortunately, Spark is just as bad. If you close the application without first closing all the tabs manually, none of the messages are saved. Closing all the user tabs first seems to save OK, but users cannot always be relied on to do this.
The rest of the program works fine, so please fix this major bug!
When you get as many messages as me, I cont keep track of them all, so chat history is very helpful when it logs it. Sometimes it does & sometimes it loses loads!
A print button would be great too! Especially if someone else closes all your messages on your pc when you are not using it!
Losing history is a silly mistake, this is the only reason stopping me using this IM client.. Please fix!""
