Next to the macro database and property docking windows, Impresario provides some more docking windows which give additional and more detailed information about Impresario’s current state and other components.

System Messages Window

The System Messages window displays all messages Impresario reports during runtime. Especially at start-up many messages are produced to control which directories and macro libraries are actually used.

Messages are categorized as  Information ,  Warnings , and  Errors . You can filter these categories by pressing the corresponding buttons in the toolbar attached to the window. Here you also find commands to  Save the current messages to a text file and  Delete all messages.

Change log Window

This window lists all changes to the current process graph since it was last saved in chronological order (see Editing process graphs). You can restore each state by just clicking the corresponding entry. When you save the current process graph the list is cleared. The  Undo and  Redo command operate on this list as well.

Console output Window

Impresario redirects the output of std::cout and std::cerr to this window. However, Impresario itself does not send any messages to the standard console outputs but it is a feature every programmer who develops macros can make use of. Therefore this window stays empty as long as a macro’s programmer does not use this feature in her code.

The window offers commands to  Save the current messages to a text file and to  Delete all messages.
