Hi Robert,
Thanks for the suggestion! I think this is a really good idea. It's funny - the way things have evolved, this has never really occurred to me before. :-)
The trouble is - the open file dialog is complicated enough already. Adding a 'delete after merge' option may not sound like much - but it is moving the form in the wrong direction.
What do you think about right clicking on the merge file after it is opened and selecting "Close Source Log Files"? This is - slightly - more work, but I think it will be much less complicated and easier for new users to learn.
There is also a technical challenge in that you will still need the source file 'open' to be able to tail it. This resource will need to be managed internally. Users will lose the ability to control tail in individual files - but if it is their choice, I don't think that is much of an issue.
Thanks again,
Toby
