Version: 3.0.0a5 (using KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-openmosix Like syslog's feature of grouping lines that are the same, I think that the application window could group lines that are the same... so, if in a loop I print 10000 times the same line, the application window could show the count and not 10000 lines. Of course, this should be configurabe (right clicking on the window like in the messages window). I think it would be kewl if it printed a line, for example "This is a line" like this This is a line and the, when it comes again, added in bold font and another color like blue or red the number of time it appeared at the end, so, the next time "This is a line" is printed it could show This is a line [2] and then This is a line [3] of course, as much as it is printed without other diferent lines being printed. it could also be intrested in grouping more than one line This is one line This is another line This is one line [2] This is another line [2] This is one line [3] This is another line [3] and separate the group of lines with colors of the numbers (too advanced and weird ?) Thanks.
Is it typical for application to print identical lines in a loop? Sounds pretty rare situation to me, can you explain when it can happen?
Maybe during debugging with outputs to stdout ?
IMHO we shouldn't encourage debugging-via-printf but debugging with a real debugger. Closing as wontfix.
