#7900: Platform-independant directories for log viewer
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  Natanji  |        Type:  enhancement

 Version:  2.5.3    |    Keywords:  log viewer multiboot
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 The log viewer currently has a very limited use when running Pidgin under
 a multiboot configuration with both Windows and Linux. Because there only
 is one directory that can be chosen for each program that log viewer reads
 foreign logs from (in my case, Trillian), either a Windows or a Linux
 directory name can be entered there - but Windows won't understand /home/
 and Linux won't understand C:\, naturally.

 I propose to save platform-dependant settings for the log viewer so that
 under each OS, the respective settings/folders are used. I don't know if
 this is possible however; if not, a feature to enter multiple entries for
 each foreign chat log type could be implemented, for example by allowing
 to input multiple folder names separated by a semicolon in the text box
 line for each supported log type.
