Customizable UI by a setting file

Kastor — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 07:33:52 GMT

Hello,

When we open LVP, there is always the window Log Files & Filters that appears, and it uses space that I would rather use for the log content. I tend to close it at every startup, but could there be a way to keep it closed by default by changing a settings that can be imported and exported?
This window:

Many developers use LVP at our company and we want to automate the install and configuration as much as possible. This is why I ask specifically for a setting that can be imported from a file easily.
Thanks

Hi Kastor,

Thanks for the feedback. I will investigate and see if we can persist this setting in the next release.

By default, layout settings are stored in:
[code]%AppData%\LogViewPlus\layout.xml[/code]
This settings file isn't really designed for sharing across multiple machines, but if you were to place it into a freshly installed LogViewPlus and the monitor configurations all matched, then it should work.

Hope that helps,

Toby
