WowAce

I discovered a very big bug in the Enable/Disable logs functionnality. If you disable logs for a specific channel, it still logs it. I will fix this bug in the next release.

Thanks to NiGHTsC for this report ;)

Ok, I also had this error but I can't find where the problem is. What I will do is just add a check function to prevent this error from displaying. It will be available in the next release. I have fortunately one week to work on it ;)

It was what I was thinking: this problem appears only on German clients. I don't really know how to fix it, maybe it is quite simple, but unfortunately I don't have the German client installed on my computer. If someone has a bit of knowledge in AddOns, maybe you could help me find how to delete this bug.

Additionaly to this, I wanted to say that I am currently working (and I will do so for the whole hollidays) and that I consequently don't have much time to work on the AddOn. I will obviously continue to develop it when I will have a bit of free time.

I didn't have this problem, this is quite strange... I am going to look closely to this :/

(You can use an older release instead ;) )

The only way to display the log file into a readable way is to develop a program under Windows that does this ;) It is impossible at the moment to log only what you would like.

Just check four posts under this one, I explained where was the problem :)

Elcromo, which client are you using? Did you join a specific channel during this discussion? Are you using channels with special characters (â, ë, è, é, ...)?

It's quite difficult to know where the problem is coming from with the information you gave ;)

There is a big problem with the option of saving to a file: these functions are Blizzard functions, not mine, and you can't change anything to them. You can just enable or disable the logging. And in fact, these functions do log everything that appears (or even not) on your screen, and I can't change anything to this.

It is exactly the same than typing /chatlog or /combatlog at the chat prompt (it will only work if you haven't enabled ChatLog - the AddOn automaticaly disables these command). So you can't log only certain chats except if you leave the ones you don't want to log, and I can't really tell when the log is saved (but I'm pretty sure it is saved at the same times than your variables, so it should be when you log out).

I'll add an option to enable/disable logging by default when you join a new channel, or only to do this if it is a General, etc. channels. I'm really upset to say this, but I don't have time at the moment to work on the AddOn. I'll try to do something during the weekends ;)

@ metal: A - Increasing the limit so much will surely slow down the AddOn too much, and it will take something like 1 minute to log only ChatLog. I don't want this to happen, so until I don't change the code a bit, I won't increase the maximum log size ;)

B - Good idea, added to the ToDo list.

C - I just talked about it above ;)

D - Good idea too, I'll add this if I find some space on the window :P

New release out with the support of German, thanks to Harl ;)

@ Grummy: I will surely add an option to enable/disable logging by default when you join a new channel :)

@ XMinioNX: If you wish to disable logging by default when you join a new channel, change this:

(Line 288) ChatLog_Logs[index] = {}; ChatLog_Logs[index]["id"] = id; ChatLog_Logs[index]["name"] = name; ChatLog_Logs[index]["enabled"] = 1; ChatLog_Logs[index]["logs"] = {};

...to this: ChatLog_Logs[index] = {}; ChatLog_Logs[index]["id"] = id; ChatLog_Logs[index]["name"] = name; ChatLog_Logs[index]["enabled"] = 0; ChatLog_Logs[index]["logs"] = {};

@ calrayray: It is in the ToDo List ;)

@ shards_ofthe_soul: Yeah, I can try to do this, it's a quite cool idea ;p

@ Antikleia: It is possible technically, but the problem is that ChatLog is "catching" every single message that *should be* written the Chat Window. You also have to know that an AddOn can easily hide messages that *should be* written to the Chat Window (that is surely what happens with the AddOn you have installed).

But the problem is that it does not "say" that it is going to hide the message. So if I would like to only log messages that are displayed, I would have to know which messages are hidden by the other AddOn you have installed. ChatLog would have to "know" ALL the AddOns that are doing this, and it is nearly impossible. So I think I would not be able to only log messages that are displayed :/

(Maybe someone have a clue one this... please tell me if you do ;) )

@ harl: I downloaded your files and I'm going to check if it is working with the last release of ChatLog. The bad thing is that I don't have the German release of WoW so I will only check if every variable/function is okay . It shouldn't be long. I will tell you if I need additional information ;)

• Increase maximum number of lines being saved: I am thinking of a new way to display information in the main window in order to reduce (delete?) the time it takes to display the channels. If it works, it will technically be possible to log thousands and thousands of line if you wish to ;) I'll give more information when I will be able to do so.

• An option to switch from a per-character to a per-realm based saving of the logs (therefore using the other SavedVariables directory). It does correlate with "~ Make a "general log" for all characters." I will maybe add an option to switch logs from a per-character to a per-realm method but it will need a bit of time because I have to see if it is a good thing (yes, I like to test everything before making a release :P)

• An option to specify some filters for these specific patterns of channels not to be logged which would otherwise. Hum well it seems a bit tricky to do this. It's a good idea (even myself I don't really like to delete each unwanted log because an AddOn joined three or four channels during the day), but I don't really see how to introduce this to ChatLog. Or maybe yes, but its development will need a bit of time. I'm adding this to the todo list :p
