Rather than keep this on the back burner I figured I'd put this out there for people to give some feedback. I was thinking of replacing all direct use of the standard file handles (stdin, stderr) in Blender with a single set of logging functions. This function could intercept all messages and conditionally send them anywhere you wanted. In particular I was thinking you could use one of the popular open source logging libraries as a backend (log4cxx for example). So nobody would need to implement a backend to send results over the network, that has already been done.
I have not really had a chance to really look over Blender and see every place that it outputs text messages, but I'm pretty sure it is rather ad hoc now (considering the mess that appears in my console window). I do not think this would be a large or complicated project though and it would be potentially useful in the future because of the way everything would go through a single set of functions and because you would have to supply a little more context about where messages are coming from and what their intent is. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
