I'd like to make a button that does a simple thing: combines the Save Buffer and Append Log functions, so I can save what I have and then continue logging from there. (Isn't that how you usually find you want to save the buffer, when you realize partway through "I should save this?"). But just doing the menu commands isn't always enough, as you lose the few lines that come in between the two times you select the same filename.

Is there a way to pop up the file selector dialog to let me pick a filename, then pass it to the #LOG (better yet, #HTMLLOG) command and also to save the buffer with it?

I don't know about #HTMLLOG, but you can set #LOG to capture the scrollback buffer.

Save scrollback buffer to log when log opened

How did I miss that setting? -faint- Thanks. :)

It'd still be a good thing for a future version of zMUD to have a user input command like #PROMPT and #PICK that displayed a file dialog box and returned the filename chosen, so you could pass it to things like #SEND.
