Not sure if this is a bug report, feature request or me not being sure what should happen.
In my situation, the log file is being monitored just fine.  Then the application which generates the log file stops.  When the application restarts, the existing log file is deleted and a new one recreated.
I think I want Log Viewer keeps the old lines on the screen and starts to tail the new ones.  What I want to happen is for it to reload and lose from the screen all the log messages that are no longer in the file.  Does that make sense?
Maybe I can already do this and just can't see the option.  It's not a big deal, I can click the "reload file" button myself though.
