Saving combat log on Client?

Is it possible to save combat log from NWN Client to file ? If so, how?
If not, could I make that a feature request?
And/or better UI for combat log: Having Filters for log would be helpful.
You could select by user (ie, you, another player, monster, etc) or direction (you attacking or you being attacked), types (spells, attacks, feats, saves, etc). Being able to pause log, etc.
When there is a lot going on, the combat log is basically useless since there is just way to much data
In big fights there is no way that anyone could make sense of it in Client.
For example, in a 10 person versus 10 monster fight, there would be apox 2 actions per round (which is very low) per character. That is 10x10x2 = 200
Divide that by 6 (6 seconds a round) and you are looking at 33+ messages per second to combat log.
going back and trying to find a specific save you died on or attack you took damage on is near impossible.
If you had some way to pause it, save it to disk or filter it in game, that would help a lot.
"filter by my character, getting attacked, saving throws->death"
or
"show only my last 15 attack rolls"
