I wasn't really sure where to post these two points, as they may already be included in the program, I've simply been unable to find them.

1: A way to turn off the blinking of the taskbar icon when there's activity in MUSH Client, and/or rather than having a taskbar icon, having it moved to a systray icon, that blinks with activity.

2: A way to add carriage returns between lines in a log, for ease in editting.

If anyone knows how to do either one of these, I;d appreciate the help.

The taskbar icon is a configuration option, see world configuration -> Appearance -> Output and uncheck "new activity flashes taskbar icon".

As for the carriage returns in the log, when do you want to do this? Every line? Certain lines? When you decide to?

The answer to that would control how you would do it.


If it is after every line, you can configure a "line postamble" (see logging configuration). You could put %n in there to add another new line.

If it is after certain lines, you could make a trigger to match on such lines, and then send a blank line "to the log file".

If it is when you feel like it, you can do a "world.writelog" either directly from the command window, or make an alias to call a script to do it for you.

eg.


sub BlankLine (thename, theoutput, thewildcards)
world.writelog "" ' write a blank line
end sub

Thank you very much for the help! I think MU* Client just has too many options, that's what. =) Always a new one to find out about.

And I was thinking after ever line out output. I'll try the suggestions you've offered.

Again, thank you very much!
