It would be nice to be able to close multiple files (in the Log Files & Filters view) without viewing them since it can be quite time consuming as it is now. Similarly, it would be nice to be able to right click and bring out the context meny for an entry in the same view without switching to that log.

The workspace menu does not look like in documentation either.



I'm not using Directory Monitor unfortunately.

Regarding multi-select.. It would be nice for example if selecting additional entries (after the first one) the Log Entry Grid would not change, i.e. it would always show the single/first selected entry.

Regarding not selecting on right click.. What I am looking for is something like the behavior of Windows Explorer, where you can have one folder selected in the tree view with its content shown in the "file" view and then right click on another folder in the tree view to bring up the context menu for that without the "file" view changing.



The major reason why I find the "single close" approach problematic is because I experienced that it took some time for each file/filter to load in the Log Entry Grid after closing a file (or maybe it was the closing itself that took time?), assuming beacuse the log files I usually have open are large ~500MB.

The reason why I would like to be able to right click without selecting is because I would like to keep the current content in the Log Entry Grid when I for example want to close another file or copy another filter (this includes draging and dropping a filter). It's annoying to "lose" the current view in such cases.

It looks like the workspace menu has the same problem in that commands without an icon are not being displayed.   This is likely an issue with a third party component provider, but it will need to be resolved before the next release.  Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.

It's a good point about the size of the log file and I can see where this might cause issues - particularly when closing as memory will be released.  Let me look into the workspace multi-select idea and see what can be done before the next release.

Just a quick note to let you know that we have now released LogViewPlus v3.0.24 as a BETA release.

This release adds the ability to Ctrl+Click to select multiple items in the Files & Filters view:



Selection occurs without changing the log entry grid view, so there should be no impact on performance.  The grid view remains associated with the 'focused' item.  This can be identified in the screenshot above by the white dotted border around the focused selection.

The context menu for the selection then includes a number of options including the "Close View" command we discussed above.  The first option in the context menu is "Merge", but note that this option will only be enabled if all items in the selection are of the same type (either files or filters). 

Hope that helps. Thanks for the great suggestion!
