Which part is bullocks? The accurate description of how things will change or the accurate description of how things will change? Fact is it's not going to change much for anyone when its finished (assuming they are going to provide a stylesheet for it). You will still simply double click the file to open it and view the log and you can search the same way you did before with ctrl+f or whatever your os's normal search keys are. nothing changes but the program it opens in. If for some reason it is not associated with your browser simply double clicking the file will ask you what to open it with and you just tell it to remember that and your back to normal.
So as I see it no disadvantage outside of a slightly larger file size. But a big advantage on the other side. Its a easier format to "parse" which will allow you to see it and search it easier and faster in whatever program that is made to parse the files either built into the viewer or an external log management system. Above all that a change like this had to happen. There was no way around it. With Display names being variables now it had to happen. They had to have a way to link the variable to the constant... This to them and the more i read to me seemed like the best solution. Its already a built in format the viewer already uses and is very extensible when it comes to adding/removing things and styling. Essentially if they load a local stylesheet that would allow you to modify the stylesheet to make your logs look the way you want them like changing a theme. I'm sure this idea will be used for an internal log viewer if its added. All I am really saying is wait for it. It is beta and doesn't seemed to be finished yet. To people who know what is capable with the format know what might be planned. I know for someone who doesn't know about the format or anything outside of plaintext it might be garbage right now but the potential is huge On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 6:44 PM, Dave Booth <d...@meadowlakearts.com> wrote: > On 10/15/2010 17:38, Marc Adored wrote: > > <snip> > > Bollocks. > _______________________________________________ > Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: > http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev > Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges > _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
