Quartus Journal or Log Files?

[ScottTurner]

I'm transitioning from Vivado to Quartus. Vivado creates .jou (journal) and .log files which contain a history or log of commands issued during a session. I'm looking for the same in Quartus, if they exist. I see that Quartus has a Message window in the GUI, but this isn't automatically saved to the file system.

Quartus also creates various compilation reports in a folder called output_files, but these reports are specifically tied a synthesis/compilation run for a particular project. I'm looking for a broader variety of commands issued across a session in the GUI. This would be helpful if I close Quartus and later want to revisit the details of what I did in a given session of work.

I see a similar question posted here. But it doesn't address this kind of log or journal file. Please let me know if something like this exists in Quartus.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi @ScottTurner 

Unfortunately, Quartus does not showed a history or log of commands issued during a session. Only the compilation reports with the command line used, will be generated.

If you want to know what are the Command-Line and tcl Scripting available in Quartus, you may checkout the user guide below.
