script window changes ?

Does anyone else think that it would be nice if the script window (the one that pops up in the lower left hand corner when a script runs) had a few more options ?

It would be nice to be able to specify the size and postion - maybe as part of the OSD menu dialogs ?

Not sure if this is common on all cameras,  but on both my cameras the window has a tendency to disappear too quickly, especially when runnning lua commands via ptp.   How about an option to leave it on the screen once activated until a reboot ?

I hacked both of these things in a custom build by editing the source (changed number of lines and inserted a console_draw into the spy_task loop in main.c)  and I find them pretty useful. 

Is it worth adding these options to the core build ?

You can change the script window layout from script with set_console_layout.

There is currently some weirdness with the way ptp script switches in and out of alt mode, mentioned here http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Lua/PTP_Scripting

If you manually go into alt mode when using ptp, the console will stick around.

It turns out set_console_layout does not work (at least prior to trunk1314 - reyalp just fixed it).  And the syntax in the wiki for set_console_layout was wrong so I fixed that.

Did not work in ubasic. Was fine in lua.
