Subject: Console window text
Just a feature request if it's easy to do.

The Console window shows what's going on and I use it a lot. Sometimes every other line of my code is a print statement to see what's going on and it can quickly fill up the window with hundreds (thousands ?) of lines.

The only way I've found to clear that window is to either drag my mouse over those hundreds of lines or else close and restart Kmotion. I can right click the window and it has a 'select All' option but it doesn't seem to work. Neither does Ctl-A. I have to really fidgit my mouse to keep the window scrolling upwards to highlight it all so I can hit the delete key. It's actually quicker to stop/restart kmotion. It may just be my laptop (vista) being a pain but I thought I'd mention it.

Either a 'Clear Window' button or else enabling select All would be a good thing for me.

No big thing, put it on the bottom of the list; just thought I'd mention it. thanks

We will add a "Clear" button.

Thanks. I was just using the console window to print out all the 200 or so vfd settings to get a hard copy. I had to do it so many times to get it right I may have wore out the console window. LOL I just cut and paste the text from the window and it works great.

BTW everything that is printed to the Console scrolls off into a permanent disk file.  KMotion\Data\LogFile.txt

You can also write directly to a disk file from a KFLOP C Program.

LOL, I just checked the log file and it's over 100 thousand lines, several megabytes. That's great to know, I'm sure I'll be digging back through that file occasionally.

I probably should just write to a file once I get the code sorted out. I wanted one button that would save the nearly 200 PDxxx registers in this cheap chinese vfd. The vfd settings aren't documented very well so it takes some experimentation to get them right and they tend to change often. Having a log of what worked and under what conditions really helps.

Thanks for the info.
