not able to copy log text #230

Closed drjtan closed 4 years ago

drjtan commented 4 years ago

Current behaviour

Trying to copy a log text, for example, a file path, a name, but doesn't seem to let me do that. Do me miss something obvious? It cannot be that I am the first one who need to copy text from a log.

Expected behaviour

Being able to copy to clipboard.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Just try to copy some text

You certainly aren't the first one. Currently you can only copy an entire line (or multiple ones) by selecting them and pressing ctrl+c.

There's neither a context menu, nor can you select passages of text, however I've gotten this request multiple times in the past so it may be time to implement it finally :)

Please let me know if the above doesn't help, then we may be dealing with a bug.

thank you so much! Copying the entire line will do for now. It's a great tool.

You're welcome, I'm glad you like it and am thankful for all the feedback I get. Your report was the final straw that made me think I had to align Tailviewer's behaviour with other applications, so I might just implement #231 in the near future ;).
