Zugg Software :: View topic - 235 - preference adjustment from within a script

Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 5:44 am

I would like to toggle the timestamp checkbox in preferences on and off, with say, an alias.

I'm not really sure where to start.

I don't think this can be done programmatically at this time.

Actually, it can be done.

#ALIAS timeon {#CALL %pref(showtime,1)}
#ALIAS timeoff {#CALL %pref(showtime,0)}

If you're talking about logging timestamps, then:

#ALIAS logtimeon {#CALL %pref(LogSaveTime,1)}
#ALIAS logtimeoff {#CALL %pref(LogSaveTime,0)}

Hope this helps!

As an aside, if you want delta time, just do #CALL %pref(deltatime, 1) as well to the showtime.

Thanks Charneus!

Personally I just leave the stamps there all the time, but I've just convinced another cmud user from Aetolia to clean up his system, the first step being removing #sayp %time(etc)

But he insists on being able to toggle them on/off, for whatever reason.
