[opensource-dev] Files deleted by uninstaller

[Daniel]

Chat and IM logs are a user preference setting.  If logging is turned 
on, the implication is the user wants the logs, and
that preference should not be overridden without notice.  Also, SL users 
are not working for a company in a business
situation.  It's a social virtual world, and chat logs represent their 
accumulated conversations with people.  Also in some
cases, users are running their *own* business, and chat logs record 
conversations with customers.

Deleting personal or business data without warning is wrong in this 
environment, however much the practice may make sense
in a corporate environment.

> Au contraire. Some people get very upset when an installer leaves any files behind that were created by the program automatically, such as log files. It's simply not true that the uninstaller shouldn't remove anything in the profile -- I have worked at multiple companies where leaving behind any breadcrumbs (anything that wasn't created by File Save) after an uninstall was considered a major bug.
