Dear Toby,

when analyzing complex log files or problems I sometimes would like to be able to make very special evaluations like the following.

For example I have a list of 50 log files and I want to see the first 10 and last 10 log entries of every log file.

Or another example is, that our log files contain a list of hardware components in our device including serial numbers. And for a list of 50 consecutive log files I would like to see if and where hardware changes between log files have occurred.

Both cases I think could be realized by a custom filter on a merged log file list. However the current ILogFilter interface only allows to see a single log file entry. For the above cases I would have to also check other, neighboring, log file entries (to find the position of the log entries in the log files or the find the hardware components list of the preceding log file).

Do you think such an extension would be feasible?

Kind Regards
Andreas
