           Summary: Logger doesn't find Pidgin logs for the meanwhile
                    plugin
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: logger
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: matt.lavin at gmail.com
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


While trying to move from Pidgin to Empathy, I noticed that Empathy did not
detect my old Pidgin logs for my meanwhile based accounts.  It turns out that
the method used to compute the log directory for meanwhile accounts seems to be
different in pidgin and empathy, so the logs are not found.  Pidgin stores logs
for meanwhile based accounts in 

~/.purple/logs/meanwhile

but Telepathy-Logger seems to look for them in 

~/.purple/logs/sametime

To work around this issue, I created a symbolic link from
~/.purple/logs/sametime to ~/.purple/logs/meanwhile and Empathy started to show
my previous conversations.
