Hi,

I'd love to see the loot log "fixed". A source column would be SO useful, also stop the automatic accumulation and make it automatically write to disk like the chat/fleet chat logs. I'm currently developing a realtime mining op management program and this part is just a nightmare, there is no way (that I can see) to successfully automate loot log extraction. So far I have to snapshot and reset the loot log periodically to obtain the correct figures. The program not only determines all payout/etc it also determines mining rates over time and various other statistics. Unfortunaly due to the loot log this requires a LOT of cut/pasting. Even accumulation windows that did not exceed 5 mins would be acceptable as long as it wrote to disk.

I am in agreement with adding source column to the loot log. As it stands now the loot log can give false numbers if someone takes items in and out of a cargo container or a fleet hanger. By adding a source column to the loot log you can find out if someone looted those items from a wreck, asteroid, cargo container, fleet hanger etc. I am pretty sure this would lead to more accurate counts of what was actually looted.
