Is there a way ....

Hi Aldo,
Is there a way to show values in the message?

e.g. message='=getProperty("_camera","pan")'
(unfortunately the example is not working..)

Thanks in advance.

I can see why

I can see why you would want to do it, and I will see about implementing it in the next release

added in upcoming 1.3.5

The importance: "silent" is not working.
It's still showing up in the debug window.

Re: logMessage

Starting the viewer by holder Ctrl+ Del brings up a separate debug windows.
pressing Ctrl+Del while viewer is open adds an overlay debug.
But none of my logMessage are displayed.
Is logMessage currently broken?

Re: logMessage

It should be Ctrl+Alt, not Ctrl+Del. If you press Ctrl+Alt twice, you should get at the debug overlay. People were having issues with the previous 'a' and 'd' keys, so this changed in SPi-V 1.4
