Re: st: Setting log type with -project-

[Sergiy Radyakin <serjradyakin@gmail.com>]

given the current setup you will need to translate smcl to text first
before printing. in that case you will get the same as you would have
gotten had the set logtype text command worked.

foreach should solve a problem with multiple smcl artifacts of a
complex project.
