Weird Logging Question

[Ssurgul]

Hey all,

I'm getting ready to automate my Gallery-DL stuff via Task Manager. I see that there IS logging capability inside of Gallery-DL which makes me happy. However, in the interest of sanity and tidier logs, I'm wondering if there's a way to capture a log entry from one category and recast it into another.

The main consideration: when things are automated, I genuinely will not want to see the 'info' level alerts that 700+ files were skipped only to have the 3 new files downloaded mentioned. So I'm wondering if there's a way to "trap" the successful download of new files, and move them to the 'warn' level of the logging, since that's much higher than the 'information' level, allowing me to set my logging to warn across the board, and only see new information and actual warnings and errors.

Thanks in advance.

There are no info level alerts for skipped files or successful file downloads. These aren't logging messages, just general output to stdout.

You can use the actions option the change a message's logging level, but again this does not apply to file downloads. Those won't be captured when writing to a log file.

There is also an option to disable outputting skipped files:

Ah, ok, thanks! To the test logging efforts we go then!
