<Columbo>
Just one more thing:
</Columbo>

A history log bookmark. Specifically, something that can be used to

a) mark a line in the log, visibly flagging it, and
b) jump to that bookmark immediately. Maybe even via a hotkey from the main window.


Why?

For dealing with the multitude of log events. For instance, in my current very relaxed game (as always. Well, even more so. How much? Hrm. For the first 250 turns or so, or something like that, I didn't build a single armed ship... instead built up infrastructure, researched, explored and colonized. 255-system game, AIs on hard, other options default. My first serious warships will be launched with QE3s, QRs, Solar Sail 3's, max-level weaponry, etc; a few decently-equipped cloaked sensor / boarding / repair ships are already stalking space.), I may deal with numerous log Messages demanding attention, ranging from atmosphere conVersions (part of the development plan) to full cargo space to whatever.

This means that I may potentially do a lot of

a) leaf through history file
b) go to appropriate location or menu, thus closing history file
c) fiddle
d) close location/menu
e) return to history file
f) spend time paging through history file to find out where I left off

The Last bit, paging, gets a bit tedious. (OK. So I'm lazy. But this could be faster.)
