    Description

      This report proposes an extension for the Logging Category Viewer in Qt Creator.

      Currently, the Logging Category Viewer in Qt Creator is intended for debugging Qt Creator itself, so it only handles log messages in categories such as "default", "qt.", and "qtc.". It does not handle log messages from user applications; those messages are displayed in the Application Output pane.

       

      Suggestion:

      • Develop an extension that enables logging category configuration for messages from user applications within the Logging Category Viewer.
      • Changes to the configuration should take effect immediately, allowing for effective runtime investigation without the need to edit the qtlogging.ini file or restart the application each time.
      • Alternatively, instead of an extension, please consider providing an independent tool for configuring logging categories for user applications.

       

      For your reference:
      GammaRay (KDAB) offers a similar feature.
