Maybe is the right time to implement in LSL sort of llKey2Name, save logs
and other using the UUID and cache the display name (at least 1 change per
week us allowed, caching username and display name should solve ??? Problem,
falling back on cached if trouble)

I think the filename needs to be based on the unique account name, with any
periods (.) replaced by underscore (_).

The display names can change weekly, and as you note it would be much more
difficult to track based on display name.

Thanks again for all your feedback. I've made some updates to the design
deck (see attached).

I'm going to create subtasks underneath
STORM-31<https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-31>for the new
preferences and get these updates rolling with the team! :)

Cheers,

PS - Please feel free to keep feedback coming


On the Privacy tab, you ask "Is this a timestamp in the log or in the
filename?"... I think that once we've integrated STORM-102 (a final test
build for that is running now), we'll actually have two checkboxes there.  A
new test build for that is available now (fresh off the server) at [1].

   - Add timestamp


   - Add datestamp to log file name

The first one controls whether or not lines in the log file have timestamps
on them, and the second appends a datestamp:

For person-to-person chat, the datestamp is YYYY-MM (year and month)
For local chat, the datestamp is YYYY-MM-DD (year month and day)

One issue on STORM-102 that probably needs discussing... the present
person-to-person chat log file name is

First Last[-datestamp].txt

where First and Last are the real account names.   If a person has a Display
Name set, that name is not used when constructing the file name: instead the
real first and last names for the account are used for the log file name.
The Display name does appear (followed by the userid "first.last" in parens)
in the log text content.   This seems potentially confusing to me,
especially if the only name I ever use for someone is the Display Name.  It
seems to me that either:

   1. the Display Name should be used (if I remember talking to "Joe
   Somebody", that's the log file name I'd be most likely to look for), which
   would mean that each DN value would produce a separate log even if I had
   conversations with the same user with different DNs,
    2. or the userid (first.last) should always be used for the log file
   name.
