How to delete many filters/log files at once?
Posted on Jul 27, 2020 at 7:11 AM
I'd like to be able to delete many log files/filters at once by selecting them from the list and pressing delete. When multiple files/filters are selected, you could also add the merge command to the right-click menu.

That's a really good point Blaž. Single selection has been a core part of LogViewPlus for such a long time that I had not thought to challenge it.
It is a big change as it impacts all commands. At a minimum, most would need to be disabled when using multiple selection, but I can definitely see where it would be helpful and powerful.
Let me have a think about this one and get back to you.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Blaž,
I have taken a look into this feature request. The change for multiple selection and delete was relatively straight-forward. Unfortunately, this change had several unexpected consequences in the application which were both difficult to detect. Changing the tree list behavior in this way broke a lot of core assumptions. For this reason, the change had to be rolled back.
I like the feature, but we will need to think a little bit more about the best implementation.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks again for the suggestion.

I just stumbled on this old thread. For anyone finding this post, it is worth noting that multiple file deletion is now supported in the multi-select menu.
