Hi Denis,

I was missing this fine-grained logging also so I wrote a couple of classes, long ago, that use events. It still logs to the Transcript and to a log file, in parallel. The test doesn't even make a test, to my chagrin. Look at TraceMonitor for the output bits and at senders of Object>>#etrace: aTraceEvent for the input side. It's in the class category: OCapPresentation-Base-Trace & extensions in the Cryptography repository. I was thinking remote logging, if I can ever untangle this code. It's always a question of crafty avoidance or sitting down and digging into code. I can be crafty7.

Cheers,
Robert

Try to look at it this way: by using objects (events, signals, announcements, whatever) and just generating them on the spot and sending them off somewhere, you have everything you need, without imposing any restrictions.

If logging system will not allow me to log arbitrary object it would be restriction. And by "log object" I mean not just adding it to some log collection. But I need ability to mark objects with tags, messages and timestamps.

If you want to use log/severity levels and/or categories and/or tags, you can do that. But I don't want to. Your objects will contain that info and you will be able to filter on it.

Most of objects not have timestamp, tag or user message. So I can't filter them in such naked state. And instead of generating special objects with such information I want logging library take care about it.��
Of course for some cases I will need special objects for logs. But I should not be forced to do it every time.��
