LogExpert, a tail tool for Windows

LogExpert 1.2 is now finally released. The probably most exciting new feature is the persistence. It saves the current state of work including all filters. Here's the complete list of changes:

• Bookmarks can have comments now
• A new view called Time Spread View: This is a small display besides the scrollbar. It has markers which represent the spreading of timestamps in the log file. It also allows fast and easy time-based navigation.
• Persistence. Saves and restores the state for every log file (tab name, filter settings, scroll position, bookmarks, ...)
• New plugin API for adding context menu entries
• A plugin for loading Java classes into Eclipse is already included. The plugin parses stack trace entries and navigates Eclipse to the appropriate position (additional Eclipse plugin needed).
• Tab renaming (double click on tab)
• "Show advanced" button now has a small indiciator which is visible if an advanced option is selected but the advanced panel is hidden.
• Feature request: Adding 'virtual' blank lines between the log lines. Usefull for grouping.
• Feature request: Number of selected lines is displayed (if more than 1 line is selected).
• Feature request: Context menu on tab: "Copy path to clipboard"
• Feature request: Context menu on tab: "Find in Explorer"
• Bugfix: If "always on top" is enabled, some dialogs were locked in background
• Bugfix: Frozen columns now freeze again after reload
• Bugfix: Frozen state now will be reset when changing the columnizer

The SDK is also updated. It contains a description of the new context menu plugin API along with an example plugin.
