Keeping the log file open while working
Posted: 01 Jul 2021 00:17
References to Wish List in search results, put me into a 404 error, so I am posting this here in the hope a moderator will magic it over to where it should be.
After an import from TMG, I am urged to check out the log file. A very good suggestion.
However, having the log file open removes my ability to navigate within FH. As the whole point of a log file is to show where in the database there may be errors, the ability to access the actual data at the same time as viewing the log file is mandatory. At least in the way I work. I can see very dense information, full fo codes, to make sense of which I need access to my database where 'X' has been used.
So - this request is to allow editing of FH at the same time as viewing the log file.
If this is not possible, then the next best thing would be to facilitate the export of the log file (to a spreadsheet I guess).
My work around is to copy/paste the full log into a spreadsheet, which I know covers off my need completely. I make this request in the expectation that the developers of FH are keen to make it as easy to use as possible, and want their application to cover user needs from within.
Thanks - Shirley
