Product Description:

Tailer+ is a feature rich, flexible, and powerful log file viewer. Features include the ability to watch files as they are updated either locally or on a remote host using SSH, powerful text filters, bookmarkable windows, system-wide hot keys, and more window customizations than you could imagine.

What's new in this version:

Added an option to limit the total number of lines displayed in a window. This makes it possible to better limit the resources Tailer+ uses when working with large frequently updated files.
Changed the "Scroll on Input" behavior slightly so it will only scroll automatically when a window is scrolled all the way to the bottom. This is to keep it from jumping down to the bottom while the file is being read further up.
Fixed a bug that could cause Tailer+ to use lots of CPU when a tail command quit unexpectedly.
Changed the text output internals slightly to give better performance.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

Hi, this is the developer. THANKS for the great feedback, very informative, very helpful.
I am concerned about the crash you said you get upon tryiing to open more than one file. This definitely should not happen and I can't reproduce it on either Jaguar or Panther. If at all possible and this keeps happening to you (or anyone else) if you could email the crash report to tailer@analogweb.com I will look into it and fix it immediately. The crash report would be in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Tailer+.crash.log or you can just copy and paste the report from the window that pops up after the crash (instead of "Send to Apple" send it to me ;-) ). Again thanks for the feedback and for using my app.

Cool app... - Version: 1.2b3, 5/19/2004 10:46AM PST

...for system admins. First a little hard to get what it actually does more than the tail command, but when fiddling enough with the windows settings I got a titleless window at desktop level (as long as I use DesktopManager it's on all desktops, not only on one) with the system.log of our server in realtime. Pretty cool. Text filtering is very powerful to filter standard messages out or color them in any way. You can beep, speak the filtered text or the whole line. Unfortunately it crashes with a breakpoint exception when trying to open more than one logfile. Well, it's a beta... I would like to able to edit the bookmarks, and that the text filter dialog resizes when clicking on it (and back to display option), then the user does not have to search for the very powerful filter capabilities :-) Well done, looking forward for the final product, the price of 7$ is not too much, actually too less.
