Log output is broken (and there is no screen output)

[bezik46]

Previous version had the nice function Write-W2VInfo to output to screen (as well as log).

Current version has loging broken It writes:

[x0nn]

did you use verbose?

[bezik46]

NO, because there is no verbose parameter available (or mentioned at all)

[x0nn]

its in the readme.md - Please try -Verbose if you wish to output more Information.

[bezik46]

Tried it and got error that such parameter is not valid (unless it matters that order it is in?) Maybe you can add it to the actual code?

[NielsS79]

I used -Verbose and got the transcript as expected:

Am I reproducing this wrong?
