Open Named Log Files Groups

[jeffjensen]

I use scripts to launch Klogg, each script specifying on CLI the set of log files for a focused task. The inconvenience is launching the scripts.

My suggestion is an integrated feature in Klogg that allows selecting and opening a named group of log files. For example, File -> Open Log Group, and select a log group name from either a popup list or a submenu.

Are those files in a separate directory? An option to open all files in some location seems more generally useful.

Yes, they are in different directories.

Each script opens a set of log files for a work-task focus. e.g. working on a product. When working on one set, I don't need to see the other unrelated log files, so nice to close them to avoid the eye noise (I've had 20+ tabs open before!). Each script launches Klogg with the desired set of related log files.

This is an "open related log files" convenience idea; currently using scripts; a menu option is much nicer usability (no need to navigate to a script's location and run it).

First implementation could just have the open feature, reading a file containing group names and each groups' file locations.

To me, the Klogg Open dialog already easily opens multiple/all files in the same dir.
