Saving idea files with _ at the beginning of the name

Hello,
Why don't .IMD files appear in the project explorer if I save them with _ at the beginning?
In a different order?

How do I create a log script that records all the steps the executable performs? And save this log to the project?

Thank you

In IDEA V13 it seems you can save items with the "_" at the beginning and they will show up in the file explorer.

Underscore example

I can remember older versions in which this wouldn't show up, I am not sure which version of IDEA this changed.

There is no build in logging with IDEA, you would have to add this to your code.  To do this you would have to decide if the output should be a text file, IDEA file or some other format then you would need to make the connection with it, such as creating the database within IDEA and then sending your info the the IDEA database or for a text file using something like the CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") and using this to write to a text file the output you want to save.
