Title: History button
Post by: ftomazz on November 07, 2011, 03:46:38 AM

Hi, I would like to be able to read the last messages that went through the "status" line, as sometimes I have messages after messages and the user have no time to read them. Looking in the available resources of Mach, there is a button that is "History", that does not do anything - at least with my setup.

1) There is a way to have those messages available?
2) What does the history button do?

Thank you

The history button brings up a list of all the old error messages that you see in the session you are using.

When you shut down mach the list clears and you start all over again.

Thank you,
Then there is no way to get the old status messages (not only error messages) ?

You will get ALL the messages that mach puts out during that session.

PUSH THE BUTTON then you will know(;-)

Ups, it seams that the text editor must be on so that this works. I pushed the button and saw nothing ...
Thank you sir.

No the text editor does not have to be ON. BUT you may not have selected a text editor ???

Here all you do it PUSH the button and up pops Notepad with the history file loaded.
