This plugin uses sqlite database. Make sure you have read INSTALL file!

If you have old Bldjid logs, before you start using this plugin
please make sure to convert it to database format. You can do it as follows:

	./log2base.tcl /path/to/your/bldjid.log /path/to/your/bldjid2.sqlite

or, alternatively (in Windows, for example):
	Start -> Run -> wish
and type there:
	log2base.tcl /path/to/your/bldjid.log /path/to/your/bldjid2.sqlite

If your log file is big please be patient. It took me 2 hours to convert
100 MB log file into 65 MB database
(AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ -- 1000.000 MHz, 512 KB cache).

Default Bldjid2 database filename is bldjid2.sqlite so if you want it
to be different, please note that a base is initialized (or created) during
Tkabber's start, so you have to restart Tkabber in order your new base got connected.

If you used a default format of the logs (didn't hack anything to adapt to your
taste) the coversion should be successful. However, it is highly recommended
to check if the newly created base is OK. You can take a look at it using
"SQLite Manager" extension for Forefox, for example. Make sure versions are OK
(they are stored in separate tables), and timestamps and caps hashes are in place.

If you get some exceptions (errors) while converting the log feel free
to contact me by Jabber: bigote@jabber.ru

Plugin has an option options(base_backup) that enables creating backup copies
each time Tkabber starts. However, it's disabled by default because when your base
becomes big (especially if you have converted your old logs) new backups can "eat"
rapidly free space on your hard drive. But if free space is not a problem or you
delete old backups from time to time (you can zip them before that), of course it's
better to do backups.
