[Adium-devl] Moving chat transcripts to ~/Documents/Adium

[Evan Schoenberg]

My two reasons for proposing the move:
  1. Despite our hopes to the contrary, it does appear that Spotlight  
continues not to index the transcpits in ~/L/App Support

  2. I feel like my mom is more likely to back up her transcripts if  
they are in ~/Documents and she's doing a backup than if they are in ~/ 
L/App Support.  Time machine may make this less relevant, though.

I've looked through Fire's FireMD mdiimporter and can't figure out  
what is being done to allow indexing from ~/Library/Application  
Support.  Could you point it out please?

Thanks,
Evan
