I wanted a neat serial console tool. I hate pressing combination keys so minicom's full capability and key combos are not what I want. I am not used to the separated command line of CuteCom, either.
I found MaxiCom's simple and intuitive GUI fits my needs perfectly when I have access to desktop GUI interface. But my job routinely requires capturing console logs. So its lacking of this feature made me add this feature.
When you click on the "LOG" button, it generates a file under $HOME with filename containing the date and time the log file is started. When you finished the capture, click log again. The file is then completed. When the file is created, the date and time will be written to the log file and when it ends, the date and time are also written.
