Improvements to optimization log #45

Closed mjwagner2 closed 5 years ago

mjwagner2 commented 5 years ago

A couple of improvements to the log window on the optimization would improve functionality.

1. Optimization logging

Optimization iterations are only reported in the optimization log. When (gasp!) the program crashes during optimization, all progress and optimization results are lost. The user may wish to echo optimization progress to a hard file in addition to live reporting in the window.

2. Better log formatting

Log readability would be improved with consistent column widths between the variable label line and the iteration data lines.
