show logs in app

[max-mapper]

add a button 'View Logs' on the process detail page that does the equivalent of tail -f in the webview for the app logs

In my opinion it would be better to allow to configure external application ( like Console.app ) to handle logs displaying. Logs can be very long and one want to do specific things like display in fullscreen window, search, clear and flag which is too much to incorporate in monu application.

What do you think?

Along with #24, more readily-accessible logs could mean convenient workflow tasks via Monu. For example, I have gulp commands that send me system notifications when something goes wrong. Being able to easily access the tail of stdout + stderr of a process would make monu viable for handling continuous build tasks, etc.

finding a good cross platform way to view logs in an external application sounds hard, I think it would be convenient if there was a basic one in the app written in JS. we can always keep the 'Open Logs Folder' button to give people folder access

ah sorry I have totally forgot about fellow windows/linux users, well I have found this http://glogg.bonnefon.org/ I understand that still it means that all these users would have to install some third party app.

I guess that it's question of how users of monu want to work with logs if they don't care simple js is fine, from my experience developer always care for logs and then simple solution is not enough.
