Messages that automatically open the Log end with an * character.

I don't think this needs to happen every time we do something with creating an image.

Example entry:
2026-10-09 08:13:09.794 | MNQZ26_FUT_CME[M] 240 Min #1 | The chart image has been saved to: C:\SierraChart\Images\MNQZ26_FUT_CME[M] 240 Min #1 2026-10-09 08_13_09.704007.png *

My request is that you remove the asterisk from the end of the image capturing related functions so that it doesn't 'cry wolf' every time we use it.

I know turning off the automatic opening of the log file is an option but that isn't recommended. If there is a genuine problem, I want to be notified.

The messages for the images are categorized as a "Chart" related item. Therefore, you can set the "Chart" option in "Global Settings >> Message Categories" to "No". This will then prevent the window from opening as those messages will not get posted into the Message Log. Refer to the following:

We will create a new message category for graphics images.

We might also add a separate option to prevent the Message Log from opening for these messages.
