ENHANCEMENT REQUEST: Log File Timing

I was recently reminded of something I have meant to ask about in the past. I have often noticed that the logs record when a line has completed execution, not when it is originally called.

Would it be possible to have the logs record the time the line starts execution instead of the time it is completed?:?:

If a problem occurs at the end of some conditional branch, it is not always clear what line did not get executed. Since the conditions may not always be clear in earlier lines of the log, you can't tell where the scripted branched off to. So now there is more work required to diagnose the cause of the problem. This proposed change would show the exact line that did not execute properly.

Just a thought, not the most critical priority. Thanks for listening.

Hi,

I appreciate what you are saying. It is in fact already on the list of things to do to improve logging.

No need to vote.
This was implemented in Version 7.2.037

I have already found the new format options helpful in solving some random problems. I have decided to use a value of "Log entry BEFORE running Step" for most of my macros vs. the default to run after.

Thanks for implementing this suggestion

How important is this feature for future versions of Macro Scheduler?
