My Chainsaw wish list: - ability to sort messages by various columns (sort by time with most recent at bottom instead of top, sort by level, logger, etc) - ability to filter by MDC key/values, filter by multiple category/level names, maybe just let me define my own filter chain? - ability to configure/add new remote sources via gui (support input via new v1.3 Receivers).
