 I believe that if pidgin knows where the other logs are stored there
 should be an button to click to the effect of "Fetch other logs" which
 will go through display everyones logs on the left column.

 I understand that there is the ability to "Browse log folder" but that
 requires it to open explorer and what not. I believe that implementing it
 into the log viewer itself would look more professional and would also
 save time for the end user. Not to mention you could also have the ability
 view logs by aliases, which you can't do in explorer.

 I got in the habit of deadAIM and other clients where they do this by
 default, but they take a long time to load the log program if a mass
 amount of information has been stored. Which is why I think by default it
 should only open the log for the person you intended it for originally,
 and then have the option to load others.

 The reason I use this is because if I want to view a log of someone who is
 offline, normally in the past I have just right clicked on someone who was
 online and viewed their log, then in the left column scroll until I find
 the offline person's name to view their logs. I perfer this method because
 instead of going to "Buddies > View User Log" because most of the time I
 don't remember the exact name/alias for the buddy, or it's too long to
 type.
