Similar to %echo a directive (perhaps %debugmsg) that allows inserting information/comments into the debugging log output.
%echo echos data to the console window so it pops-up for all users, the new directive would only put info in the debug output file instead of interrupting the user. Then we could leave the statements in a config file and just ask users to send us a debug log when a problem arose.
Hello friend,
Another option in parallel to this could be to a Debug Message Center in the application window at runtime.
So, in the status bar, when the %debugmsg directive is used, the messages can be piped into a text file, and into a separate [new] Debug Message Center which can be reviewed at any time by the user by clicking the console icon in the status bar.
Config debugging message are separate pre-processor threads to application runtime errors that appear in Message Centre.
I currently always run a debugging console when testing or developing configuration so it would be handy to have an integrated console as well.
