Open multiple files at once, without opening previous tabs

Open lofidevops opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

I am logging multiple applications. Some applications generate multiple logfiles, not necessarily in the same folder. I'd like to launch a separate instance of TailBlazer for each application, with all logfiles for that application in that instance.

A simple solution is to make a Windows shortcut calling tailblazer.exe C:\path\file1.log C:\path2\file2.log

This does launch a new instance of TailBlazer, but it includes all tabs from the last instance of TailBlazer. Is it possible to inhibit this behaviour? (I couldn't find docs on command line options.)

I don't know if this is related to / a duplicate of https://github.com/RolandPheasant/TailBlazer/issues/160

There are currently no CommandLine options. but I think adding one to disable loaded previous tabs is a good idea.

Btw did you know you can drag the tabs out into a new window?

Personally, I would prefer to not have them there in the first place, but I will try that out. Thanks!

I come at this from a different perspective but probably would have the same underlying mechanism: the ability to open multiple log files from the Open dialog. I, too, have multiple log files for an application that I want opened together. I'm perfectly fine using the Open dialog, but don't like having to singly select files.
