Ability to truncate log file from tailblazer #179

A low priority feature request, but it would be useful to be able to truncate a log file from within tailblazer, similar to Hoo WinTails keyboard shortcut - Ctrl+Shift - T. This shows a warning followed by emptying the log file on acceptance.

Of course it only works when there are no processes attached to the log file.

Have you tried clicking the eraser button on the bottom of the screen? It clears the view but continues tailing.

Thats perfect! Does it have a keyboard short cut associated with it?
