I like the highlight function but would like the ability to save highlights similar to templates so they can be quickly applied to other logs not part of the same workspace.
There are often sequences that ​I would like to quickly identify in each log with highlights but right now, it appears I have to re-enter the highlights each time  open a log, or open in an existing workspace that already has highlights created.
The ability to quickly apply and remove highlights would be very helpful.​

regards,
Bill G.​​​

I think there may be some confusion over highlighting text vs filtering text.  Creating a text filter will (by default) also create a highlight.  If a highlight is associated with a filter, then closing the filter will also close the highlight.

Highlights can also be created independently of text filters.  There is a video demonstrating this here:
https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/find_text.html

If you create highlights in this way, you should be able to save them as a separate template - see screenshot above.  Again, the screenshot is a little bit confusing because it does not 'show' the highlights that are being saved.

Hope that helps,
