automatic log features, automatic logging features Options

[Guest_barkmoo_*]

here are a few things that would be very helpful about logs:
1. ability to set it to automatically save logs always.
2. automatically name the logfile with a unique name (or at least the world name and the date, like cantrip), with option to just keep adding onto a previous logfile if one with that name is found.

great proggie...especially now that those bugs are patched.

Things to note:
* In the preferences, you can choose what your logs will open in when you double-click - Savitar, Word, or BBEdit. I chose BBEdit, since I don't have Word!

You might be able to tell the OS to open all BBEdit|Word-tagged files in Your Favorite Word Processor, too. Dunno. I've had BBEdit about as long as I've had Savitar.


* If you're REALLY paranoid about saving a log, you could always click in the main pane of the window, apple-A, then paste it into TextEdit or something. Since the 'sending keepalive to disconnected world crashes Savitar' bug was fixed, I haven't had it crash on me ever. Admittedly all I use is some basic highlightings and logging.


* Yeah, writing logs out regularly would be cool, so would openin the file in append mode rather than overwrite. I lost a pretty good bit of narrative just a couple days ago by accidentally overwriting the log - though I think it was the first time ever. This's about the only thing I miss from the otherwise-arcane Tinyfugue!
