logging can be improved to log at all times

[ksobon]

currently logs get written at the end of the revit session when revit is closing. It would be best to capture them at all times. NLog is one library that can be used for that.

@dbaldacchino if I wanted to improve logging ability of this particular tool, I could use a library called NLog. It does however require that we install a DLL in the same folder that Revit is installed in. That means that we need ability to place a DLL in C:\ProgramFiles...any issues with that?

[dbaldacchino]

We can place as part of the install/update script moving forward. If this is something we need to add right now to all installs, we could also do a script and put in Group Policy to execute once. Let me know where I can find the file (I assume it would be the same for all versions of Revit?)

[ksobon]

Yeah, it would be the same DLL. So the one thing that bothers me is that it would now be decoupled from our standard deployment for plug-ins. I don't like that very much. Any way that we can think of to keep this under the "revit plugins deployments" umbrella?
