Logging Gagged text
|
Is there a way to Gag a line and still have it written to the log even though it doesnt appear on screen?

Yes, within one of the Preferences categories is a section about Logging. Within this section should be a checkbox along the lines of Log Before Triggers.

While that does work, it is also very restrictive. I too have sometimes wanted to #gag stuff from the main window, yet log it. But I do many, many things to the text (like timestamping) that I want to log, so logging before triggers doesn't work for me. It would be nice if there were a #HIDE command (or somesuch) that would do this.

In that case, read up on #WRITE, #FILE, and the like. There are ways to do what you want, just not with #LOG or Preferences.

Uh, no.
The log gives me 98% of what I want. I'm just saying there are really good reasons for wanting to hide the output from the screen (perhaps because you want to despam the main screen by sending certain output to a child window), but still log it. I suppose I could rewrite logging code using triggers, but I won't. And yeah, I could send just the text I want hidden to a special file, but that's not what I want. I want the hidden text to go to THE log. Plus, #FILE can only write in the directory containing Zmud.exe, and that's certainly not what I want.
I can live without this, but I'm just saying it would be a handy capability that I might use a lot if it were there. |
