[Suggestion] IgnoreWarnings=1 in Rainmeter section

Post by Cariboudjan »

Would love to be able to toggle off Errors, Warnings, Notices, Debug, etc. in the Log for specific skins rather than the entire program. Would love to be able to add IgnoreWarnings=1 to the [Rainmeter] section to prevent any errors, etc. from that specific config from appearing in the Log.

Perhaps not in the skin section, but if this were to be implemented, it should be as an option in Rainmeter, so any skin can temporarily have its warnings suppressed.
My rationale for the temporary bit is that warnings are supposed to be acted upon. If you don't want to see warnings, you shouldn't have faulty code. I can see the purpose of having the toggles in Rainmeter as filtering for problems if you are trying to find an error that otherwise is lost in a deluge of other problems.

In my case, the warnings are not the cause of faulty code. They are the cause of sending bangs such as !Hide, !HideMeter, !DeactivateConfig, etc. of configs that may or may not be open when the bangs are called. Rather than do a useless "check" to see if the configs are open before sending the bangs, I just send the bangs. Either the desired action will take place or the bangs will hit a brick wall and that will be the end of it.

In fact I would go so far as to suggest that things like "Config not found" shouldn't be considered errors at all. They should be considered Notices so they can be easily filtered out without filtering out the actual errors.
