Interesting. And a valid point of course. I see a whole lot of issues with that practice. Issues much more annoying than suddenly having their own output prefixed with DEBUG. But I'm not going to dive into that here :) Just don't forget that the current default also causes some irritation to others. When I use PyQGIS in any of my Python scripts any log output will appear without any context (which is unacceptable, unless I really don't care about the user). Its not even my own warning messages, its warnings generated by Qt itself. The simplest workaround for me is adding two lines of code to each script (some scripts are as short as 10 lines) to change the output. Imagine if all my imports in my python scripts required two lines of code to set up friendly error/warning output :) Of course I can live with adding those two lines; I already did. But it does seem like a poor design choice (which I suspect was never a conscious choice, but rather a coincidental choice). If maintainers/users generally prefer the default to stay as it is, I guess that is justification enough :) On Sun, Dec 10, 2023 at 11:24 PM Thiago Macieira <thiago.macie...@intel.com> wrote: > On Sunday, 10 December 2023 09:47:22 PST Thomas Larsen Wessel wrote: > > I'm actually grateful that the original message is so concise, otherwise > I > > > > > wouldn't look for a way to customise it > > > > I never considered that.
