How to add tokens to a card without logging its name to all players?

We have a Netrunner plugin that one of our local players has made and it's working fine except for one detail.

When we put a counter on a card the log shows the identity of the card to both players.  In Netrunner, you're usually advancing a face-down card and bluffing is important so naturally this is undesirable.

Is there a way to mark face down cards as private so their identity will not be logged, or an alternate way to advance a card that does not cause the name to be logged?

This is the cardfunction being used:

  <cardfunction>
    <label>Advance+1</label>
    <kind>ADDCOUNTER</kind>
    <color>white</color>
    <textoverimagecolor>000000</textoverimagecolor>
    <PositionX>.5</PositionX>
    <PositionY>.09</PositionY>
  </cardfunction>

Currently what we do is ask both players to scroll their log window to the top so recent output will not be seen but this requires an element of trust so it's not viable for online play with strangers.

Thanks!

Until I implement a proper fix, you could always put the counters on a spawned card right next to the face down card.

OK, so right now we just have to use a workaround.  That's fine.  Do you know when the updated version of Lackey will be out that has the fix?
