Well, braking new ground. :) I thought about this because even the image 
size change is written into
the log and the forced modification of a job attribute is something that 
could also be logged.

The reason I was trying to find an alternative solution to the job 
attribute query is that data query
from quill using condor_q is very slow on windows. I'd like to have our 
GUI update faster but
it can not really be done by using the formatted output of condor_q. 
Maybe writing our own
database query functions can speed things up?

Since it is only dumped at the end of the job and I wanted to use this 
feature for tracking the progress
of a job while it is running it will not be much use for this special 
problem.

Thanks for the information!
