Use colors in message area (Logger)

Hello fellow VERICUT users,

I would like to propose CGTech to use colored text in the message area (logger):
- error = red + bold
- warning = black
- info = green

What's your opinion on this?

Maybe the colors/format could be defined by the user, like in the NC Program viewer (utilities > colors).

We have a mix of errors, warnings and info messages coming to the logger during the simulation.
At the end it's difficult to see the errors between the less important info messages.

Kind regards,
Lesley

Re: Use colors in message area (Logger)

I just loved the idea. VERICUT logger is not getting much attention in the past years.

I´ve asked a century ago for a macro to clear it on the runtime... Something that simple doesn´t get much attention...

Your suggestion would be a nice enhancement IMHO.

Now... I discovered a while back, that right clicking in the logger lets you filter out by category. 
I submitted an ER to allow multiple window, one for errors, one for warnings....etc
Also,  some ability to control which error is a warning instead. ICAM post lets you assign a magnitude for each error message and also if you want it ignored.

Re: Use colors in message area (Logger)

Hello,

good news: VERICUT 8.0 has colors in the logger .

And there is more: an extra window to analyze the messages!
It allows to order the messages following the type of message, tool, or program.
It even has 3 levels.
It can also hide/show different types of errors.

Kind regards,
Lesley
