What I have at the moment is:
A) atconnect alias that begins logging as soon as connected.
B) #capture/#gag commands to capture channels/communication into a separate window.

B interferes with A in that apparently gagged text is not logged. So I decided that I could just write the channel info to a separate file at the time they are being gagged useing #write and %line. This works fine (although it seems like it might be causing a little bit of program lag) except that, while #log logs all ansi color information, using #write with %line apparently does NOT.

So at the moment I have triggers that look like this:

If you're using a separate window for the tells, why not use the log from that window?

BTW... Visalia - so close to home... *sigh*

Well, I didn't think that was a viable solution before, for various reasons (most of which I don't remember anymore). I didn't (and don't) want to have a separate settings file for the communications window but thinking about it, I realized I can do it with my main settings file. So I added :tell:#log blah.txt to my atconnect alias and was SURE it was going to work.
Well...it doesn't log the color from the communication text, which is pretty weird.
So I have a log of the main window, which stores the color from the mud output, and the log of the communication window which does NOT store the color data from the captured text. Any ideas on why this is?

RE:BTW from Charneus..... Whereabouts near Visalia do you call "home" and sigh about? Wink

As well as separate windows, you have separate Preferences. Click on the 'tell' window, then click the Prefrences button. Go to Logging, and choose Log Ansi Color. Should work for you.

And I used to live in Hanford/Lemoore. My family still lives there - that's why the sigh. :)

Well shoot, I guess I shoulda known that since I apparently did it at one point in my main window Very Happy

Thanks much.

Preferances
General
Logging

Uncheck 'Log after triggers'

That should force it to log before triggers, getting all the gagged stuff.

Whoops. Forgot about the Log after triggers... I knew there was something I was missing. Thanks, shalimar, for pointing that out. :D
