Suggestion: Log's extension by VuDu on 08-26-2004 at 11:24 PM

Hi everyone!

My suggestion if to make Plus! save the log files with a different extension so that they could be opened by default with another application isntead of notepad. that would be very handy if u integrated a log viewer like :

on a future plus! release.

what do u think?

thanks for ur time.

regards,

VuDu

My Log Viewer recognizes "normal" text files and Plus plain text logs if you enable the txt association, so it will open "normal" TXTs with your default program, and Plus plain text logs with Log Viewer. It has a nasty bug though, that sometimes makes Explorer crash, I'll update it soon, I've just been too busy.

ups... didnt noticed that... well thanks :D

but still when i open the chats on msn with plus commands/menus, and not on windows exploerer, it uses the notepad...
is it a plus! or ur plugin's problem?

If you open the logs from the Plus menu, it will call notepad. Maybe I can change that later with a plugin, but I'll have to make some research and right now I don't think it's possible (unless Patchou lets us change notepad from a registry key :)).
