As a feature request, I would like to have some sort of tail functionality built into the internal text viewer plugin.
i.e. F3 -> <enable tail> -> file tracks automatically.
Effectively, I do this at the moment: F3 -> End -> Esc -> F3 -> End -> Esc....
Also, the files I'm viewing are large trace files (multiple GB) and many other tools open files in memory, so are unsuitable. Besides which, Salamander is the obvious place to do this...
Thoughts? I know there was a previous thread 5 years (!!) ago, but I thought I'd start a new one to see if there are any other like minded people.

Internal Viewer - Tail Functionality
Re: Internal Viewer - Tail Functionality
Actually, all that you need to do is move somewhere else in the file and then again to the end. (So instead of Esc, F3, End, you can do Home, End, or PageUp, PageDown as I like to do).daern wrote:Effectively, I do this at the moment: F3 -> End -> Esc -> F3 -> End -> Esc....
Other than that, I'd like the scrolling to be optionally automatic, too.

Ah yes, of course. I do that as well, but it's not always 100% reliable - seems to depend on how the app writes to the file.Ether wrote:Actually, all that you need to do is move somewhere else in the file and then again to the end.

TBH, I reckon that I can do this at great speed in my sleep, should the need arise
