Message-ID: <20070509145634.582ab170@mail.catheycompany.com>

Is there somewhere where I can set up the length of the log?  I am trying to fix and extension written for firefox and am using cs.logStringMessage a LOT and with the old logger (the original console) there wasn't a size limit but I could only cut and paste one message at a time.  With YOUR extension I can select all and copy and paste to a text editor.  The problem is that after a certain number of lines, it starts overwriting itself and the older messages get lost.

Also, is there some function to just save the log to the HDD?  Maybe there is something better in java that I don't know about where I can just log messages to a file somewhere.

Please let me know about the length setting.  I am comfortable enough to modify the code if you tell me where and what to mod.

Thanks,

In console2.xml look for a line that says something like:
<field name="_limit" readonly="true">500</field>
and change the number 500 to something else. However I
don't know the consequences of doing this. Over to Simon
on this.

There is a very simple extension called JSConsoleOutput
<http://tblack.f2o.org/> that intercepts the messages
sent to the Error Console (error, warnings, exceptions,
and so on) and redirects them to a file. You can look
at how this extension does it. If I remember correctly
it's very simple.

Good luck.

I tried changing that and it just changes back again.  Don't know why - that file actually exists in 2 places.  One \ and one \content\console2

One stays changed and the other doesn't and neither appears to increase the length past 500 lines.

Are you sure you are repacking the jar file correctly?
Because there is only one console2.xml file in the whole
.JAR file and it should be in:
console2.jar!/content/console2/console2.xml.

If you see two versions of this file then you are doing
something terribly wrong.

I have also tested this locally by changing the limit
to 5000 and I'm happy to say that this is working
although response gets rather sluggish by the time I
reach about 3000 lines.

You are right - I repackaged it wrong.  However the extension you sent me the link to works great.  Although I had to mess with it to make it compatible with a Firefox version above 1.4.  Now all is happy.  Thanks for the great extension!  Now if only you had the ability to save to a specified log file, built into your extension :D

Thanks again,
