[Feature] Enhance Chat Logging

Feature Request: Enhance Chat Logging

Description

Currently, I'd like to enhance the app by adding a feature that allows users to log their chats. This would enable them to save and share chat logs with others in various formats.

Key Features:

• Markdown Support: Allow users to choose between saving chat logs in Markdown format for enhanced formatting options.
• Plain Text Option: Provide an option for users who prefer not to use Markdown formatting, allowing them to save their chats in plain text format instead.
• Incremental Chat Log Suffixes: Automatically append incremental suffixes to the saved chat logs (e.g., name-of-chat-log-01.md).

Benefits

This feature would greatly improve user experience for writers and copywriters who often need to share conversational content. It would also provide a convenient way to save and organize chat logs, making it easier to reference or reuse them in other projects.

Currently the way this would be accomplished is to use the 'copy conversation' button which will put it on the clipboard. The chats are saved on disk, but not in an easy way to export to other programs... the 'copy conversation' is the best way to do this right now.

Unfortunately, v3.6.0 regressed this button but a new release with a fix is coming out imminently.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I appreciate your insight into how to copy and export conversations from GitHub.

I'm glad to hear that there is a 'Copy Conversation' feature available, which aligns with my current workflow. I believe this is called "Copy Message". As someone who frequently uses LLM models in their work, this functionality would be invaluable for me. In fact, it's going to become an essential tool for sharing my insights and experiences related to GPT4All.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming release that addresses the regression issue and brings back the 'Copy Conversation' feature for now.
