Allow live viewing of file as updated
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to be able to view logs as they update and not just open a static version of the file into memory.
Describe the solution you'd like A button for a live mode once you've opened the file.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Using tail -f
The application requires a BIG refactor and is something I plan to do, but as always with personal side projects outside of office hours ir doesn't always get the full love I can give it.
I spent a bit of time and the best I can do right now is to notify you with a message that the file has changes and then give you a button to able to reload the file to see the new changes.
Would this be good enough until I think of a good way to solve this problem /cc @selfagency @StefanKoell @hdocsek @johanndev @kitgrose @codehunter13 @teauxfu
PR for this is here https://github.com/warrenbuckley/Compact-Log-Format-Viewer/pull/727
I think this is a great workaround until it's time for the refactor you mentioned. The change in the PR would be a huge help for me personally.
I use your app in the office and for personal projects, so I'd be interested in assisting with maintenance if it's within my ability. Would you consider opening an issue that outlines what you're looking to do in the refactoring?
I will leave this issue open as I want to try and figure out one day how to stream the log file.
Thanks for the offer of help @teauxfu however I have no specific plan of refactoring tasks right now.
