When running a workspace with FME, part of the logfile is dedicated to the command line arguments. But it looks like this:

And I find that very hard to parse through when I need to debug this, especially if it's for a workspace that a client sent in to support and I don't exactly know what the parameters are.

 

So I would like to suggest putting all the parameters on individual lines, like so:

 

And on an unrelated note, why are some parameters prefixed by a single dash instead of two and why is there no consistency in \ and / usage in the paths mentioned?

Absolutely agree. Especially when you have to debug a log on FME Flow, it would help tremendously if the command line arguments were formatted. Because sometimes all you need is to check the selections the end user made on his or her User Parameters, and it’s always a pain to find it. If the arguments were formatted nicely, that would make it a lot easier.
