Improve logging capabilities
In previous versions of the Flutter IntelliJ plugin, users had the option to enables an experimental log view "Flutter Logging".
While not perfect, this feature brought significant improvements for working with logs generated by the user's running Flutter app.
Notably, logs emitted by the app were categorized and color-coded with labels making it easy to differentiate and track messages. Basic filtering and error types were also great features to have.
In recent updates, this was removed from IntelliJ and added to Flutter's "Dev Tools". While this is a welcome improvement to the dev tools platform, it leaves users of IntelliJ (and vscode) with very basic, unfiltered logging requiring users to switch from their primary IDE to an external tool for very basic functionality.
Is it possible to add this feature back or at least enable some sort of filtering?

In my opinion the integrated dev tools in the IDE's offer a superior user experience to the ones running externally in the browser. Removing already existing features from the IDE's seems a bit counter productive. I concur with Nash and hope to see this added back as well.
It is great to see the response to this request!
TBH we are a bit shorthanded right now. That feature was causing a lot of issues so we removed it until we have more time to get it right. If anyone is looking for a project, feel free to pitch in :) -- the code is still in the repo. Otherwise, we haven't forgot about it but can't do anything at the moment.
I'll leave this open so people who want to express support can do so.
Colored logging support with ANSI has bring back in https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/pull/5151 . Is that solve your issue?
Is there any update for this issue in 2022? Or is there a different issue for Android Studio only that I can follow?
