Definitely radical and possible, but something I don't think I'd like to take on, simply because I'm a Delphi dev'r, not C/C++, although, I did do 10 other peoples final C++ projects back in my college days, but that was two decades ago. (I don't mind saying that, but man do I hate realizing that time has passed!). However, if that type of additional logging does become a thing for Putty, I might want to put a reservation in the code that the log file has that information somewhere.
But you're correct. If the log outputs were able to put a time stamp per line, that'd help with at least narrowing down the time resolution. But that isn't the primary purpose of this particular project. Its just easy search, fast updates to the database, and focused results.
