Features

• [] Real-time log monitoring[/]

  []Filter log entries by regular expressions[/]

  []Multi-tabbed interface for filtering the same log file[/]

  []Enable/disable filters on the fly per each tab[/]

  []Watch not only the exact log file but also the parent directory to reload the log file when new log files are created[/]

  []Support profiles saving and loading - i.e. current tabs with filters, including a quick "Save Profile" option to save directly to the currently loaded profile file, in addition to "Save Profile As..."[/]

  []Offline mode - i.e. load the log file from disk and parse it[/]

  []Loading default profile on startup[/]

  []Support a "Forced refresh" mode, if by some reason standard Windows file watcher doesn't work. In folder watch mode, it also detects newer log files appearing in the folder[/]

  []Support simple text search in current filtered content via Ctrl+F and F3(Enter)/Shift+F3 for next/previous search result, with a session search history dropdown for quickly reusing recent search terms[/]

  []Has a status bar with the current log file name and it's stats. Additionally shows the loading progress of the log file in the offline mode[/]

  []Shows the updates in non-focused tabs via "bolding" and adding the notification symbol "🔔" to the tab name[/]

  []Extension for the log file is configurable via editing of the config file. By default, it is set to .log[/]

  []Has option to skip the signature related errors in the log file. By default, it is set to true[/]

  []Has option to add "real" timestamp to the filtered content. By default, it is set to false[/]

  []Has option to use a monospace font for the log content view, toggleable from the menu[/]

  []Supports AutoTabs feature - automatically create tabs based on the appropriate regex pattern from log file content[/]

  []Supports multi-lined log entries, allowing the tool to handle log entries that span multiple lines[/]

  []Keyboard navigation: PageUp/PageDown and Ctrl+PageUp/Ctrl+PageDown scroll the active tab's content regardless of which control has focus[/]

  []Smart scroll-follow: switching tabs preserves each tab's scroll position - tabs you'd scrolled up in stay put, tabs you were following jump back to the latest content[/]
