new UI and API suggestions

Hi!
You've made a nice trading software, I like it! Pretty good and optimized use of .Net :-)
While I'm working with cAlgo and cTrader I'm missing some functionality:
- "Source" column in the log window, where a bot or indicator can specify a source string.
- Ability to sort and/or filter the log window
- Ability to automatically save log window content as its getting new rows. The save format should be some post processable simple format, like CSV.
- Log window clearing from API.
- cAlgo is not picking up the compiled versions of the robots when I place JUST the .algo file to the given folder.
- API to instantiate and control robots (I can imagine this as a "cAlgo plugin".
- API to screen capture graph
- API to be able to put indicators into subwindows like in MT4
- API to invoke backtesting from external app, so we don't need to reinvent the wheel
- Enum parameter type for Indicators and Robots, a Dropdown box as a control should be suffice on the UI to represent it
- Boolean parameter type for Indicators and Robots
- More fine grained API to draw onto chart surface: Fonts for text, Color for text and other objects, Symbol from png or other files or at least from wingdings font.
So far that's what I missed :-)
Thanks,
Attila
