Dear All,
I would like to know that whether it is possible to see or include date and time of each lines printed in the History window.
I thank you in advance for your help.
regards,
Maniraj
Do you mean that you want a time stamp indicating when a given history line was printed into the history? That's not presently possible, but it is an intriguing idea...

Yes, you are right.
If the date and time is available it will be very useful.
I will be very happy if it can be implemented in the new version.

Perhaps BeforeHistoryPrintHook and AfterHistoryPrintHook functions could be added to make tailored control possible.

Maybe the timestamp would also look good if it is aligned on the right edge of the history. In that way it will not misguide the eye but will still be informational.

Very recently I have started working again intensively with IGOR and found that it really great to have date and time details in IGOR comment line. This will make life much easier in looking back old details. I just made macro

Macro DateAndTime()
Print Date(),Time()
END

and used them whenever important fitting I start. But, I could not exactly locate idea of BeforeHistoryPrintHook and AfterHistoryPrintHook functions as other hook function. I do not have any idea of background task as well. If some details can be given that would be great.

I think JJ was suggesting that hook functions that could be called before and after printing to the history window be added in a future version.
