Hi Toby,

there is another thing that is in my mind for a long time. I think that I even mentioned it once.

It is regarding the following behavior as described in the documentation:
Also, note that as you navigate between views LogViewPlus attempts to keep your current record in focus. This allows you to easily view records which were written before and after the current entry when moving between views.

This is a very important feature. However there are cases where I navigate between different views that don't exactly contain the same entries but focus on different aspects of the logs. For example there is a view where I narrow down a specific problem, but then need to look on another view to see different aspects. And this other view might not contain the log entries from the first view. So current behavior is that the current log entry jumps to the start of the view. So I very often have to remember the date and time of the event and manually navigate to the time of interest.

Another example is navigating between a filtered view and the full log. When looking through a filtered view I often use double click to go back to the full log, check some log entries in the vicinity and then want to go back to the filtered log again. However if I selected another log entry in the full log, that does not exist in the filtered view I end up at the beginning of the filtered view and have to find the last position again.
(I just noticed during testing, that this even does not work with "Previous Filter" if I selected an existing entry. This only works if I don't click in the log entry grid at all).

So I want to ask if the navigation between views could be improved in a way that when the currently selected log entry in the old view does not exist then in the new view a log entry that is close in time to the selected old log entry is selected.

Regards
Andreas
