Feature Request: Logfiles, timestamp and pause. (DONE)

Post by visago »

Hi,

Really happy with this app, having tried a few others before. I like that its simple and doesnt require on any special accurate position.

I will like to request (Not demanding, just a request) 3 features.

* TinyMinerLog.txt to be updated/flushed to file often. This is coz i have it running from a shared drive, and use the logfile to monitor if things are running. having it write to drive only on exit is nice, but can be improved for remote monitoring.

* Timestamps. Please please, gimme timestamps. LOL. Timestamps in the log window and in the log files. This is so I know when did the macro stop, etc.

* A pause button. I know CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE kills tinyminer, but can we have a CTRL-ALT-= button tat pauses the macro ? This is coz sometimes i want to reply to chats or train up a skill.

Great job !

All right, these features have been implemented in version v3.2:

- The TinyMinerLog.txt log file will be written to disk every 5 minutes (not only at program exit as before).

- All log entries have the current date and time prepended to them.

- A pause button has been implemented. It will be available during all actions that take longer than 10 seconds such as warping or mining cycles. It won't be available during short actions such as targeting roids or starting mining lasers. When you're done with the pause simply click the button again to resume the paused operation where it left.
