[solved] Exclude one variable from logging

taneta

I've got a variable (list of 2000 strings), which badly increases log file and is not useful for analysis.
I want to exclude it from logging, but can't any easy way to do that.
Why not to have a button, which adds some vars to log-blacklist?

Hi Taneta,

You don't have to log all variables - I personally avoid this as there is a vast amount of information there (often redundant) that I don't need. If you can determine exactly which variables you need, it is quite simple to add these to the log, and disable logging all the other variables.

You might find the "Variable inspector" is useful for helping you discover the names of the variables you want to log.

If you want to do this, simply uncheck the "log all variables" checkbox, then click on "add custom variable" and type the names of the variables in that box. Again, pressing "ctrl-i" will bring up the variable inspector table, which shows the correct name of the variable in the first column.

I hope this is of help!

Hi neon,

thanks for the answer.
I saw this option, but I don't want to determine variables manually because there are plenty of them (mine list is more that couple hundreds). Also, I may make changes to experimental design, what means that I need to keep the logging list up-to-date. Not an easy task...That's why I want to remove 1 variable and to forget about it.

Hope, Opensesame team will consider the adding "Exclude variable" button
