Umm, I already implemented that when you requested it some months ago
:-). It was one of the first features to be added to the 1.3 dev
version. All queries are now tagged with a type - User (ones you type
in), Datagrid (generated by the datagrid when you edit data) & System
(the ones you want to ignore) and you can select any combination to be
logged to a text file.
