Hello,

I am trying to use the watch folder feature but not having luck configuring it such that it watches the most recent folder that was created. The way out logs work is that each launch of the application results in a new folder with several (not just one) log files inside.

Each log file inside has a different name. I am interested in _some_ but not all the the log files.

These are the folders


Inside one of the folders are all sorts of different logs. I only want a subset of them to be opened


Ideally what I would like is logviewplus to open a subset of the files in the latest folder (as seen above) and merge the files.

As it stands, I have to manually open the files every single time, and because there are many different files I have to be careful in dragging/dropping only the files that I know I want (I also see no option to have logviewplus skip opening files that I ask it to always ignore in a particular workspace).

Any chance I can wrangle these logs better?

I can see where some users of this kind of directory structure might want to have distinct merge file names.  I think we should aim to include this as well by defaulting to the name of the directory that matched by the wildcard.

I am not sure how this would be implemented as I do not want to further complicate the directory monitor settings (for most users anyway).  It may be something like a reserved word.

I will have a think, but we will aim for this as well.
