I often have to merge log files of 2 or more types (different parser mappings).
e.g. web logs with app logs etc.
See https://www.logviewplus.com/forum/2320/Another-scrambled-fields-with-merged-logs or https://www.logviewplus.com/forum/2321/Performance-issue-with-nested-Filters for my examples.

However, everytime I create a new merge or add new files to the merge or even if an update happens to the referenced files, all my column settings are gone. 
To be frank, this is VERY(!) frustrating and one of my biggest pain points with LogViewPlus.
I cannot rely on any selected columns, their particular order, any pins or the widths, which makes my analysis efforts quite inefficient.

Could you please come up with a solution to this problem?
I know that the scenario of merged files is a hard one, because you cannot reference a particular parser or any other anchor point. But maybe it is possible to define certain views or rules etc.?

Thank you very much for considering this!
Best regards,
Daniel

Sounds like we have made some progress - thanks for letting me know!  :-)

Daniel, I will try and recreate, but I think it might be best to create a separate thread for issues #1 and #2.

Issue three is something I will put on the backlog.  I can see where this feature would be useful, but I also think it could be confusing for some people in the same way that not saving the columns was confusing.

The column settings should absolutely be part of the exported settings, but I don't think this is the case at the moment.  I will review this and make sure the settings are exported before the full release next week.

Thanks again!
