How to download chat archive with new pagination?

There is already a similar thread on searching the new fell blasted chat archive machination.  I want to make sure this need gets documented though and not lost in the other thread.  I need a way to keep an archive of a campaign's chat history.  Having to download and piece together hundreds of individual pages is not a very good solution, but it's the only one that seems to work in this new system.  Is there a way to get the old style chat archive where it was one big html file?   Or create a big html from a range of pages?

Not yet, but indications are that the devs are aware this was not an optimal change for all players. The dust has not settled on this one, so a workaround for today might not be usable by next Tuesday.

They used the logs to Ctrl+F for names and clues a lot, and it's just impossible now. A "show all" button, or a search bar to search all pages and highlight the listed word in one would be so much easier.

This keeps happening. They need a mature development process (or at least a product manager) that ensures new code doesn't break old use cases.
My group fell victim to this change. Really poor decision. Helps nothing, has no reason.

This pagination is absolutely terrible. And the lack of an option to view the posts in order is even worse.
Just to update on this.  The issue has been fixed by the inclusion of a 'show on one page' option when viewing logs, allowing you to return to the classic view.  Thanks devs!
