Error log request

[DocWardo]

Would it be possible to have timestamps in the error log? Don't know if that would be a problematic to do, but it would help to find out when these errors occur (such as connect errors and update failures)

I believe I would have to explicitly add it for each error message but I'll check and consider it if its feasible.
You DO get a timestamp everytime the program starts up though, giving you a rough idea at least.

What about writing this line - you mention to write on startup - everytime you complete a workunit (5000 structs)? That should be easy to implement.

That's a lot of overhead for not much reward. Compromise (remembering that it's Howard's decision ;)): Time-stamp the critical errors only, like connect errors. That should give some clues for figuring out the problem (i.e. server down, ISP problems), but not so many as to swamp anyone's system.
