Hi Toby,

as a typical scenario I have several log files from system A that I merge, and the several log files from system B. Then I notice that the clock of both systems is out of sync and I want to correct.

First problem is, that I want to figure out how much time difference is there between the systems. For this I have a log entry that appears roughly at the same time and that I can compare. However to compare minutes, seconds and milliseconds this is very tedious to do by hand. Here I would like a feature to select the first log entry from system A, for example with context menu "select as time reference" and then select the corresponding log entry from system B and select from context menu "calculate time difference".

Then I would like to copy the time difference and correct the time offset for each or multiple log files of system B. However till now I have not found a way to select multiple log files and simultaneously apply time offset. Alternatively would be nice to apply a time offset to a merged view (or all of the source files from a merged view).

Regards
Andreas

Hi Toby,

thanks for the info. I had a look at the new two functions.

Calculating time offsets works for me in combination with the bookmarks function. Also applying to multiple files works as described.

The only unexpected side effect I observed was, that the order of log files gets inverted in the "Log Files & Filters" view each time I change/apply the time offset. I believe this is unintended.

Thanks and kind regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I took at look at this issue and it has been corrected in the latest beta release - v2.5.49.

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.
