Issue with navigating in the Log Files & Filters list with multiple logs with the same name

Hi Toby,

today I loaded two log files with the same name, but from different directories (and different contents).
When selecting the logs or filters in the Log Files & Filters list, the selection was sometimes jumping to the wrong log file.

Please try the following. Open the same log file twice from different directories. For each file create a simple identical filter.
Now try to navigate between the two files or filters.

Regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for bringing this problem to our attention. 

I have noticed this issue as well, it was introduced in v2.5.  We have identified the cause, but have not yet been able to implement a fix.  This is a top priority for us and we should have a fix out early next week.

In the meantime, the best solution I can recommend is to rename one of the files.  You can rename the file in LogViewPlus - the physical name does not need to change.

Thanks,

Toby
