Another LogBook-esque app

[Mathur, Arpit]

http://arthropod.stopp.se/ has another Logging app similar to LogBook +
CIM_Logging framework. It has less features than the LogBook or the other
FireBug thing, but worth tracking anyway.

Interestingly, this one lets you color code messages to visually filter
through them quickly, an interesting idea.

I really like the design, it's super slick. But it seems like it has
a fairly limited feature set. Cool to see what's going on out there,
though. Seeing what solutions other people are coming up with.

It is. The always-on-top is a nice feature. Anyone know that the
spam filter is about?

The color coding is neat, but could really see it over complicating
things. The best usecase I can think of for it is highlighting
certain lines, but you could also accomplish that with searching/
colorization in the logging client. And it wouldn't require a
recompile to turn it off or change colorization options.

"but you could also accomplish that with searching/colorization in the

Ya know... like LogBook. :)

All smart-assery aside, I can imagine it being very useful to color
support color coding per "category" (read: Class). I'm not sure what
the interface would look like, though. I'm imagining something like a
color picker widget that was part of the list renderer where the Class
names are displayed.

Check out the attachment for a mock up I threw together. Note how the
class name is listed first and then the package trails off after it.

Good call on inverting the class and package in the display. I like
the concept. But rather than having it always present, what about a
context menu? It might bury the feature a bit, but I feel like we're
getting really close to the "labels" idea in OS X finder which are
also context menu driven.

I'm with you on the labels thing. Context menus are a lot more elegant
(and *might* be easier to implement).

Added as a nice-to-have for logbook 2.

If you have any other features you would like put em in there as well.
