An option to include time info in the session logs

[popxunga]

Hi Asbru Team ..

It would be useful to have an option to include time information while writing the session logs.
Something like this:

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS log line 1
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS log line 2
...
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS log line n

Thanks in advance.

What do you need this for?

The inclusion of time information is always useful in any type of log file.
In my case, for example:
To determine the time I executed something when that time does not get recorded elsewhere;
To determine the amount of time needed to execute a set of actions.

Hi @hanspr

Briefly tested it and it looks like that the timestamp is being written in the log on each keystroke, which I think its an unexpected behavior. Here is a portion of the log produced in my test:

By activating the remove control char's option in configuration, I guess the final result may be very good if the timestamp is not written on each keystroke as it looks.

Thanks for adding this functionality :-)

Yes you would have to leave with that, the information arrives in chunks and with the echo, I can no do anything about it.

The procedure received the strings in chunks (cut at any place) and the manipulation has to be short and none intrusive to avoid communication problems or delays.

No problem. I can leave with that.
Thanks again.
