Dedicated Log Window?

Help & Support
1

Hi all,

for quite a while I have been trying to configure a large, standalone script log window, independent of a specific lister.
What I tried so far:

A Command:

Set	UTILITY=ScriptLog,Toggle,Focus
@sendkey:alt+f

This partly works.

  • If used as a hotkey that involves Ctrl, the log window opens but isn't floated. Instead the Find dialog is opened - presumably because I still have the Ctrl key pressed when @sendkey is executed.
  • If used as a button, the log window is opened and floated.
  • In both cases it only has the very small size that seems to be the default. I didn't find a way to teach DOpus a different standard size.
  • Closing the lister from which the log was opened closes the log as well.

Yes, I could use AutoHotkey/AutoIt for the floating and resizing, but I'd really like a DOpus-only solution.

Lister Style: Includes the log window, but not the floating state.

Lister Layout: Remembers the log window, but minimized.

Dedicated Lister: I configured a lister with the log as big as possible and everything else either removed or as small as possible. Fully removing the actual lister from the lister :wink: doesn't work, so some space is always used up. This isn't pretty, but it works and has the added andvantage of being independent of any other listers opening or closing. So I saved this as a Layout and that's my current solution.

Any other ideas? What are you using?
Thanks!

Only now I realized :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth: I have apparently been thinking about this forever. Ten years ago, I already asked a similar question. But a lot has changed since then...

I think the only relevant changes since then are that some windows like the Button Editor and Rename script editor have their own log panels so you can test/debug everything from a single window.
