save/copy messages in message window?
mandrav:
Well, it is possible since revision 2312.

What a great idea...
When we tell someone having the typical "XXX does not compile" problem to post the build log, we will now get those absolutely useless build messages 50% of the time... brilliant.

"useless" ?!?
You know, they 're the very same messages that appear in the build log.
And, yes, I know they don't contain the actual command-lines. You have to tell people to enable full command-line logging anyway, so you might as well clarify that you 're interested in the build log and not the build messages...

i would propose to set "full comandline logging" as default setting anyways

That's why I suggested making the full commandline the default a few months ago. It is bad enough that people have to enable "normal" output explicitely.
I mean, OK... if someone absolutely does not want to see the compiler messages, I can even understand why someone would want beautified messages (although you don't need to read them if you don't want...), and they're handy for jumping to an error line, too.
But if you give them the ability to copy the beautified messages, then people will really do so.
As people post "Compiling foo.cpp" now when asking for help building something, they will now post beautified error messages. I don't think that is any good.
