Ability to save View Options and apply them by default #59

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

>> What feature are you missing ? 
When I've configured the view text color, font, background color, keyword 
highlight options etc to save all of these settings to a profile. User should 
also be able to select a default profile, which could be one of his saved 
profiles. These changes should persist after SnakeTail is restarted, and the 
default profile applied to any file that is loaded. Applying a different 
profile should be easy (maybe a right click menu option saying "Profiles", 
which when hovered over lists all the users' profiles, just like the way you've 
implemented the bookmarks right click menu).

Minimally I need the ability to save a default set of view options. Even if 
it's a simple button on the view options page saying "Set as Default" next to 
the "Apply to All" button instead of the whole profiles thing that would be 
wonderful.

>> And describe the situation where this feature will be helpful.
I frequently load log files produced by a piece of software. It has a specific 
way of writing log files. When I've configured the most optimal way of viewing 
that logfile, I want it to persist in future file loads.

>> What version of the product are you using? 
Version 1.8.2.0 (4.0.30319.1008)

>> On what operating system?
Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit

Next to "Apply to all" there have been added a "Save as default"-button.

The "Save as default"-button will attempt to overwrite the existing default 
configuration. If none was found, then it will attempt to create a new default 
configuration in the common application folder.

It will available with the next release (Still waiting for response about 
testing Issue #41

Issue #58 has a test version attached, with the new "Save as default"-button.

Not sure if anybody will see this, but I was looking for the exact same feature 
(to style the background color etc.) and have it load by default for each 
subsequent restart of the app.  I find it somewhat odd though that this 1.8.2.5 
version which is attached to issue #58 is not avaialble on the website 
https://code.google.com/p/snaketail-net/downloads/list for people to download.  
 Especially since it is around 9 months since it was put out there?!?

Anyway thanks for at least posting it in ticket 58 and I am glad I found it.  
Very nice that I don't have to restyle the log files each time anymore.

Volunteer work is often done in spare time, and I have received very little 
feedback about quality of the requested features included in ver. 1.8.2.5 BETA.

Btw. since SnakeTail ver. 1.3, this feature has been available (See Issue #3). 
This just implements a nice button, instead of one having to fiddle with files 
manually.
