Sometimes it would be nice to see the value of a parameter I'm updating, like size, transparancy etc.. and communicating warnings without having to throw up a modal dialog box. Would also be nice to print out debug values instead of throwing up print dialogs.
Is there a way to print text to the tvpaint statusline?
Write to the statusline?
Write to the statusline?
There's no place like ~/

I second that emotion.

Re: Write to the statusline?
Let me add to that...
Nothing INTERRUPTS the flow of working like having to click OK on a popup message whose only purpose is to confirm that something has been changed or updated. Instead, the simplest command option, something like tv_PrintStatus Message Duration or some similar thing would make it possible to keep the user informed of the progress or completion of a scripted operation, or the results of some scripted task or a change in state. And the display shouldn't require a pause in work flow at all: it should display in the status line for the duration indicated then disappear or until superceded immediately by the next PrintStatus message.
And as Ken says, it would make debugging scripts MUCH easier.

The new update (9.5.5) is online and I added the command "tv_infobar".
