Option to output logfile in plain text (even in 256 color xterm terminal)

[huuanh2811]

Would it be possible to include an option to force plain text output of the logfile specified with the

Code: Select all

--log-file

option?
It would be desirable, as it would result in more readable logs in less capable terminals and obviate any need for later removal ansicodes if so desired.

I see. Looks like the log file includes color codes too if the process is running in an interactive terminal.

Disable colors:

Code: Select all

export TERM=xterm
filebot ...

Enable colors:

Code: Select all

export TERM=xterm-256color
filebot ...

Alternatively, if FileBot is called without interactive console, then it'll always be without color codes.



EDIT:

What version of FileBot are you using? Looking at the code, colors are always disabled for log files. At the very least for any recent release.
