The latest snapshot no longer starts the echo lines with ECHO: when echoed to the command line console. It does still include them in the GUI and in .echo files. Is this intentional as it breaks some of my scripts?

So that only affects the standard output when generating for example STLs via command line? ciao, Torsten.

Yes when generating anything with the command line that isn't a .echo file. Any echos go to the console and I rely on the ECHO: prefix to separate them from the rest of the console messages, which I see has increased.

That would break a lot of my post-processing as well. -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

Yes it works again for me now, thanks.

Could we please preserve the code which allowed writing out only what the user has added and wire it up to an option to write out that text via a menu in the interface? I would find that very useful.

It wasn't ever that though because strings are enclosed in quotes, it just missed the ECHO: prefix. And there are lots of other messages now on stdout, so without the prefix it is hard to pick out the user output.

I think that would be one of the goals of a "printf" feature.
