Support logrotated log sequences ... #268

Open bernd-wechner opened 5 years ago

bernd-wechner commented 5 years ago

logrotate is commonly implemented on Linux boxes at least:

https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate

and results in a set of logs that look like this:

error.log
error.log.1
error.log.2.gz
error.log.3.gz
error.log.4.gz
error.log.5.gz
error.log.6.gz
error.log.7.gz
error.log.8.gz
error.log.9.gz
error.log.10.gz
error.log.11.gz
error.log.12.gz
error.log.13.gz
error.log.14.gz

I would rock immensely if glogg could:

  1. Just open the .gz compressed logs understanding it needed to unzip them first. i.e. I'd like to right-click and Open with glogg and have it work.

  2. Had an option to load the whole sequence as one virtual log file and present it as such for scanning, searching, filtering.
