Re: [orca-list] The value for orca to have time information in the debug files

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I also like the idea of time stamps in the debug log.

Also, I asked a while back on the list about adding a feature where we
could insert user messages on the fly to the debug log.  But I never
got a single answer if anyone would want.  I've not been seeing much
feedback to some of these questions lately.  I would like to add this
feature because when one generates a huge long debug output file, one
can easily get lost in there and not know where a given segment of the
debug session begins.  I'm thinking of adding a dialog like the Find
dialog to prompt for user text and it could be inserted into the debug
log at that point in time and then go on with my testing.  Since I
never heard any objections, I think I will open a RFE bug and proceed
with the idea.  I just find the debug out file to end up too
combersome at times and then I can't find where certain events are.

I also think it might be an easier path to get into coding changes to
Orca.
