Maybe an additional -loglevel which allows you set the level explicitly? -verbose to me would set the log level to verbose overall & -noverbose would set it back to the default.
that might work, but...
do "-loglevel" and "-verbose" act on the same internal state? because, right now, the two are kind of separate, and it's slightly convoluted to separate them (given that with "-verbose" you get additional *error* messages).
i think having them act on the same internal state is a bit redundant and confusing (what is reported with "-verbose -loglevel 3 -noverbose"?)
otoh, if they are separate (like what we have right now in the Pd-GUI) this might work (better?). specifying "-loglevel 1" in "-stderr" mode would only print out messages up to ERROR. when printing to the Pd-console, specifying "-loglevel 4" would set the pulldown menu to "4 all", but not enable verbose printout (like: showing how patches are searched). how would that interact with the GUI-preferences that currently save the loglevel of the Pd-console? (this is obviously related to your other question about persistent/temporary settings)
