Request: Ability to save warning messages about problem files to a text document

<< < (2/2)

Matt:
How about just copying it to the clipboard so a user can save it to a file if they want?

JimH:
Better than nothing, but a Save button would be still better, in my opinion.

MusicHawk:
Much-needed capability. Please be sure it saves ALL types of notifications, such as MC "failing" to write tags to a file, because that seems to be a one-time notification that might identify a problem that is otherwise not discoverable. Letting the on-screen list of "failed" files simply vanish can lead to long-term or forever problems.

For instance, my current huge MC project is organizing family photos, more than 60 thousand so far. At times MC displays a failure report when I tag a batch of photos. Usually it works normally, but sometimes MC pops up a list (very long at times) of files that did not get updated from the database, MC suggesting something is read-only, for instance though that is not the actual cause. I've been having to write down all the file names so I can go back and manually force them to update -- which always works, the error never repeats.

The photo file update failure is a mystery, but with this change I'll be a big step closer to tracking it down, or at least being able to know which files to manually update. Thank you.

PS: Any chance of putting this into MC23, since it will likely be a while before MC24 is safe enough for critical work?

JimH:
Nothing new will be added to MC23.  All work is now focused on MC24.

Would I be pushing it to ask for a copy to clipboard AND a save to file option?  ;D

Perhaps we can set a location in Options>File Location that can be used to save these?

Or that option gets set the first time you save a notification message if you haven't already configured it.
