The program is nice, but it doesn’t support Arabic, even though I selected UTF-8 encoding. Is there a solution? Thank you.
[@Muhammed] use the feedback option in the help menu and the developer may be willing to add Arabic support.
Needs more work, does not perform any analyses within itself, just searches for lines with the search phrase within it but truncates the output to indeterminate line lengths not a fixed line length. No option to specify the font and font size or the ink and background colours, no support for right to left languages. And no UI controls for long log lines that exceed the display form dimensions. Oddly right clicking on a “log” line and selecting Copy copies the entire lines data into the clipboard so the line truncation may be a limitation of the text rendering method used. So far it is a simple but limited GREP functionality without GREP search term support just basic string matching. No statistical analysis or other analysis is performed in this program yet.
In the AI overview I see a massive lie:
“Live File Access: Users can safely open and monitor logs that are currently being written to in real-time by servers or other applications.”
It has no mechanism to access files being actively written to or files open with permissions that deny others access to the open file… the AI has made that up and done an inaccurate extrapolation from what the developer actually said… files can be opened strictly for read access by multiple threads which is what the developer was talking about… to access VSS store requires elevated rights access and this program does not request elevated rights so cannot bypass deny access permissions set by the log owning process. Of course I could be wrong in my deductions but I don’t think I am. And there is no facility to “monitor” open logs, the file open is a discrete operation and as far as I can see does not register a call back with the system to refresh the loaded file if new writes are made to the loaded log file. Just tested it.
