Then I guess I don't understand what you meant by, "can't choose multiple logs to open all at once." Granted, I don't see a way to do that here without starting new instances of the app, but doing so allows for opening multiple logs simultaneously in separate windows. > But you have to choose them one at a time, and mine defaulted > back to /home/<user> each time. Yeah, that's stupid. I've seen apps that do something like that. Can't remember which offhand, but it's annoying. They must have changed things in the log viewer. Mine opens to /var/log every time. > phail! > vallor showed a way you can supposedly 'bookmark' so it doesn't navigate > back to /home/<user> each time, but his tip didn't work on my system.
