431.0. "GUI-wishlist: capture text output to file." by ATZIS1::PIEBER (chaos has many faces) Thu Apr 17 1997 10:51

    Hi,
    
    	one more for the whishlist for the next ABS GUI. 
    
    	Despite the fact, that the GUI is running fairly stable now, it 
    sometimes bombs out and does not leave the main window to click 'SAVE LOG' 
    to capture, what was written out.
    
    	What would be needed is either a GUI-supported way to switch logging
    of window output on/off, or simply a logical name, which - when defined -
    points to a file, into which all text output gets written as well.
    
    	This would simplify the tracking of problems, especially, if they
    are not easy to reproduce.
    
    Ewald.

    The current GUI has a wasy to save a log to a file (under "file" pull
    down).
    
    We'll put this in the newly revised future version functionality wish
    list.  However, depending on the technology we use to produce GUI, this
    may or may not be possible, I think.

    That's exactly what does *NOT* work for the issue described in .0 !

    I think, regardless to which technolgy is used, there needs to be a way
    to at least capture the error message, in case the GUI crashes.
