A gtk based viewer for log files. It is like "tail -F | grep pattern", but the pattern can be changed afterwards. The purpose is to make it easy to filter for key words. Features:
- Display text in a window, loaded from a file
- Whenever more lines are added to the file, the window will be updated
- Whenever the file is restarted, the window will be restarted, in a new tab.
- Support filter built as a tree of OR ('|'), AND ('&') and NOT ('!') nodes.
- Parts of the filter can be enabled or disabled by a click to make it easy to change
- Support pasting of clipboard or drag-and-drop into a new tab.
- Incremental search
- Optional display of line numbers
