Hi Richard,

Well maybe there is but it's not working anymore. See this snippet from
main.c line 2819.

-----8<-----
static void
console_log_handler(const char *log_domain, GLogLevelFlags log_level,
		    const char *message, gpointer user_data _U_)
{
  time_t curr;
  struct tm *today;
  const char *level;


  /* change this, if you want to see more verbose log output */
  /* XXX - make this a pref value */
  if( (log_level & G_LOG_LEVEL_MASK) > G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING) {
    return;
  }

  ......

And this may point to why printf doesn't work anymore (main.c line 1921)

-----8<-----
  /* the default_log_handler will use stdout, which makes trouble with the */
  /* capture child, as it uses stdout for it's sync_pipe */
  /* so do the filtering in the console_log_handler and not here */
-----8<-----

Shouldn't fprintf(stderr, ...) be replaced by g_print(), since, on the
Win32 platform, don't work?

Thanx,
Jaap
