Hi,
If running RangeSelection, or StarMask there is no information in the HistoryExplorer
which image was used to create the Rangemask image.
After a while you have Rangemask1 and Rangemask2 etc...
If i reoload the project a few days later i dont remember which parent
images was used for the child Rangemask... and also Starmask.
So the wish is to get in the HistoryExplorer a hint somewhere in the function code at the right
which parent image was used to create the new one. This is also valid for PixelMath
when using $T and create_new_image. There is no info in the HistoryExplorer
which image was meant with $T.
For repeatability of processes especially after a long processing queue with many
images, clones, mask and processses i get lost after a certain time and cant repeat the processing
properly.
Also creating a clone and renaming it, all traces are lost. You cant recover the Information
about the parent image.
Would be nice for better documentation of more complex processing steps.

P.S.: ProcessConsole diplays are no help either as it misses the timestamp for such processes.

+1 this is a very good idea.

Gerald, I can't tell you how many times I would like to see this information too. Thanks for making the suggestion.

Hi Gerald,
I'll think on this feature. Just a note about this:
P.S.: ProcessConsole diplays are no help either as it misses the timestamp for such processes.
You can enable a console log file with the log command. Enter this command for full information:
help log
Basically, you enable console logging with a command like:
log -f=/path/to/log/file.log
and you can close the log file with:
log --close
You can also enable or disable logging temporarily with the --enable and --disable arguments.
Of course, log files will include a timestamp for each console text line.

Hi Juan!
Thanks for the hint with the console logfile.
This logfile shows nicely now which view has been used for StarMask and RangeSelection also, including the timestamps.
So i can better repeat the crime i am doing to my images...
Thanks also for thinking about the idea to integrate - if possible - the mother
child relation into the history Explorer.
