Directory monitor tail open

I have a folder that contains a collection of log files I want to view. Within the folder is a large number of logs with different names, so the directory monitor works great for it. However, the log files are a bit long so I don't necessarily need to see all of the file. 

I might be missing it, but is it possible to do a tail open on a monitored directory? For example, I would like I would like to open the last 25 kB of all files in a certain directory with the names "important-process-number-*.log".

Thanks!

Hi,

I can see what you are trying to do and I think this functionality would make a lot of sense.  Unfortunately it is currently unsupported.

I will need to think about this one.  The trouble is that there are lots of ways to open a file and I do not want to further complicate directory monitoring.

Thanks for the feedback!

Totally understandable. Thanks
