Archaic Log system needs serious overhall #23

Open JaredReabow opened 11 years ago

JaredReabow commented 11 years ago

The current log system is poorly explained and well not great to be honest.

It is archaic in the way you have to access everything, now if i could code i would do something about it but i cannot, so i thought i would post here,

I would suggest a dedicated tab called Logs This is what i visualize Maximize the image for detail

Jared, do remember you are criticizing the work of volunteers without offering a solution. Please keep your comments constructive. Better yet, learn to code and bring us a solution. We would welcome your contribution! Thanks.

     I wouldn't say "crap" (hey - DJI doesn't have any dataflash log analysis as far as I know) but I think putting the functionality for both tlogs and dataflash logs together in one area in the mission planner (i.e behind a Logs button) is a good idea.

well if the DJI doesn't have log analysis then the tab just wont appear? but in Mp even if you do not have mavlink the icons still remain there.

And sorry about being a bit rude, i was just kinda annoyed because i was trying to get logs working properly for about an hour with little success
