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.

Really nice! Thanks!

There is a similar small improvement I'd like to see; right clicking on a non-selected entry should only bring up the context menu for that item, without selecting it. Items in tree views are typically not selected when right clicking in Windows. This would allow me to e.g. copy a non-selected filter and apply to my current entry without unnecessary switching of Log Entry Grid content.

I have another feature wish.. Smile It would be nice if selecting a cell that extends beyond the screen in the Log Entry Grid wouldn't scroll the grid horizontally. I tend to, naturally without thinking, click on the "Message" column when I want to inspect an entry closer. Since I have that column much wider than what the screen allows, it results in the grid being scrolled so that that column begins the visible area of the grid view, which in turn hides other important columns like date and time, and I'm forced to scroll back left. This also happens when I press the "End" key to go to the end of the file (and enable auto-scroll).

Thanks for the feedback - glad to hear that helps.  I think in the next release, we will try to add a "copy filters" command as well if only filters are selected.

In LogViewPlus the focused item still drives the presented view.  If you right clicked, it would either involve a change of focus, additional selection, or no selection at all.  No selection at all makes it a little confusing to know what you are working with.  Especially with features like "Delete File", I think it is best that the main context menu is driven by full focus.

The scroll behaviour is largely driven by a third party component.  I will look into if this can be implemented, possibly as a configuration option.  I suspect some users might prefer the current behaviour.

Thanks again,

Toby
