I would like to see a way for AHP to write the Activity logs to external files, in a format that would be readable later on. Currently, the cmdhst.xx files are in a format that is unreadable, and are therefore useless when trying to reconstruct logs from a few weeks ago.
If the logs could be dumped out in real time to a file in CSV, XML, or RSS format, for example, I could then use a regular backup utility to archive them, and I could go back and look at the logs from a certain period of time, which can be useful for testing new macros, or for froubleshooting. It would even be possible to write a separate utility watch them for certain "triggers", and do stuff based on those events (independent of AHP!).
At the same time, it would be nice if there were a way to dump out, again in real time, the current status of all modules and flags. Rather than have to open up AHP, and click on the reports (or press F3, as I found), I could leave the page open, and just refresh it to see the current status.
I know there are third-party utilities that will create their own command history by watching the activity, but it would be helpful if there were a way to track "internal" actions, too (such as flag status changing, etc).
