I warned you that I would want more. Which in itself is a good sign, it means:
1. I actually use the sw and find it well worth the trouble; (I normally just give up if it doesn't have the right "feel", I cannot explain that one)
2. I find the forum resposive and receptive to ideas;
Is it possible to extend the FTP filter to do two things:
1. Output something to the screen/logfile when it has successfully dropped off a file? Maybe configurable, if you FTP every second you might not want this.
2. Make FTP out of band, in a thread. Currently I take a snap every 15seconds. This then takes between 2 and 5 seconds to FTP. (Tested with another proggie, could we get a duration in the output as in 1) and only then it seems the 15s countdown starts again. So the actual capturing varies from 15 to 20 seconds. This is not a realtime system, but it would be nice...
Thanks, (again)

ad 1) Sure, why not.
ad 2) Sure, why not. ;) Yes the interval is actually just the sleep time between finished ftp upload and the next snapshot. This is due to severe laziness on my part. In fact I was wondering how long it would take until someone would notice this. ;) I guess it's time to do some timestamp calculations....

Aha, caught in the act :) Well, it sounds like it (#2) won't be too much of a trainsmash - at least no extra thread or something funny that requires who knows what. Haven't looked myself (yet), got the latest CVS version, just need some free time.
