messages page - option to exclude MLOG messages?

[dd1]

would it be useful to add an option to exclude MLOG messages from the messages page? K.O.

If you go to the “Config” page, you see check boxes for four messages types. They control the display on each page’s header and if they are spoken. We could easily add MLOG there. Looking at the definition of MLOG it says “Info message which is only logged”. In that sense we might even filter the message page. Previously, the message page is a 1:1 image of midas.log. If we break that scheme, we have to educate people not coming up with “there is a bug: I see some message in my log file, but they are not displayed on the message page!”

yup. this could work, add one more column on the “config” page, “display in messages y/n”, plus add one more line for MLOG n/n/n.

then there is the inconsistency between what you see if you have odbedit running in a window (MLOG are hidden) and what you see on the messages page (MLOG are shown).

then there is the question “what difference between MINFO and MLOG?”, we could answer, MLOG is hidden from odbedit and hidden from messages page. If you want to see MLOG on messages page, press this config button. (or change corresponding cm_msg() to MINFO).

K.O.

I implemented message filtering as discussed, and added a MLOG row in the config page. The defaults are what we see in odbedit (MLOG hidden). Note that if you change something in the config page, you have to reload the message page to see the effect.

resolved. K.O.
