Hello!

I would like to use your software (I'm using the free trial currently), but I'm unable to open log files under WSL's mounted \\wsl$\ drive, detailed here. I can't find any existing info about WSL support in LogViewPlus.

For example, I'm trying to open a file located at \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\phanabani\test.log, which translates to the Ubuntu system path /home/phanabani/test.log, and LVP just refuses to acknowledge that that path exists. I also tried right clicking the file and using Open With, but that just resulted in a normal, empty LVP startup.

I'm using BareTail (an application from 2006), and it's able to open files under this drive, so I'm surprised LogViewPlus can't! Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Glad to hear it Phanabani - thanks for your support! 

Just a quick update to let you know that we have now added full support for WSL browsing in our latest release - LogViewPlus v3.0.16. 

Our implementation will treat WSL as a network share, so it will need to be primed by manually navigating to either \\wsl$ or \\wsl.localhost.  After establishing the link once, the share will appear automatically in future.



Hope that helps.  Thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention.
