Searchable Log and/or selectable Log entries (hide/declutter Log)

[192933488S]

Describe the feature and the current behavior/state

Hi,
I would like to search the Log windows for key words, such as "Reference*" or else; if the document has >> 500pp, searching would allow for quick scan and ignoring other (acceptable) warnings.

I mean the "Issues" view/tab. The full log is the full information, which is (sometimes) required for debugging and handily available next to Issues (Warnings, Bad Box, etc.).

Who will benefit with this feature?

Authors, Editors, anyone

Any Other info

More advanced feature: Make warnings "selectable", so that one can hide unwanted (repeating, acceptable) warnings: This would declutter the Log massively. E.g., seeing the famous "Overfull \hbox" is commodity, no surprise and no harm to the final document; many more example exist depending on the individual cases.

Kind Regards

The lower panel has two tabs named Messages and Log. Choosing Log allows to select different views with buttons Log File, and Issues.
Not the fastest way but you can copy paste the table of issues to excel, calc, notepad++ and so on with

Elements are separated by colons (:). Log File (and Messages) works similar.

Hello, thanks for fast reply. YES, that "Copy All" is kind of the same idea, it would allow searching the copied text, but not as part of TeXstudio with possible jumps to section etc.

Is there away to avoid this copy-paste workaround by having a searching capability within the last column (= comments, findings)?

Say you work with a 500pp document and you change something very specific; then, you may want to search for this warning in the whole list or have a "trigger" watching it; if, after the changes, the warning disappears (if that makes sense).

Also I may not understand this correctly, are Badbox and Warning the only Issues attributes by LaTeX or by TeXstudio to be filtered?

The three types of issues are Error, Warning and Bad Box:

Probably your question is more related to LaTeX than to Txs. A solution could be similar to the Packages Help (s. menu Help) filter.

Not bad, I like the Packages Help filter. Yes, kind of similar and yes, maybe also LaTeX related. It is just tedious to manually search through Log and pick out certain findings if the list is long... currently I can skip the bad boxes, reducing this list; but it used to be longer before cleaning issues 1-by-1.
