Describe what you would like to have

Chipmunk has a panel which can display attachments of .dlt logs. Quite often I have .dlt files with many attachments (> 200) but with different types. E.g.

  • .png
  • .txt
  • .zip
  • .gz

I often need to find a specific type .e.g .png. It could help to adjust the already existing color coding and have the color coding match the file type. E.g. all .png files have the "PNG" in red, instead of a random color. Then I could find quicker what I am looking for.

@elektronenhirn thanks for this issue. Colors here have another meaning to bind rows (source) with attachments, but I'm pretty sure we have what you are looking for. If you call a context menu at any place in the list of attachments you will find there a way to reduce list based type, which you need. For example, selecting Show *.png will show you only *.png files. To go back to the full list, you can just select Show All.

Would it work for you?
