AniDB History/Logging [DONE]
Afaik, there isn't any type of logging feature on the anidb client. It would be nice if there was a tab/window that kept track of everything that a user does with the client. From hashing files, updating their mylist, the client sending a creq to anidb, etc. It would be quite helpful in keeping track of the anidb client's behavior.
It would be nice if the log could be split into a process log and an activity log, the first being basically the current log and the latter being a summary that logs specific actions with some more details, e.g.
"Submitting auto-creq for file #1234 (anime: Testanime, episode: 08)" or
"Adding file #1234 to mylist (G:\My Animes\Complete Series\Testanime\Test - 01.avi)"
"Filemanager auto-adding file #4321 to mylist (H:\My Animes Too\Movies\and so on...)"
Basically, a comprehensive list of actions that result from user requests and will change the database or the user's mylist, complete with just enough details for the user to understand what's being changed, where and why.

I had this when I had "Correct data if different" checked. I would recommend following PetriW's advice:Elberet wrote:Waaah! >_<
Please make this one urgent... Right now, AOM says it's updating a ton of mylist entries, but I haven't changed anything, but I can't find out what the hell it's updating because all the log says is "New or updated mylist entry, updating..."
Please!
More Details!

I too would like to know which FIDs are updated. That way I could stop AoM from updating things that don't need an update and maybe prevent certain things from happening (like labeling all my anime unwatched as it happened two times already )

In PetriW's defence, Skywalka said he was going to create a FAQ (basically because of this same bug), but he decided to delay until the new release came out. The only thing is the next release doesn't look like it is coming soon.PetriW wrote:I've kinda seen this forum as the place to go for bug updates.
