OK, thanks a lot. now it's close to fun hunting through my logs finding bugs ;-)
the reasons it was not working for me at first were: - incorrect timesampFormat (my fault) - wrong filter expression (now i use an empty one) => no new tab was opened ?!? - if you like to use chainsaw.xml you have to set a URL not a filename in app wide rpeferences - the logfile was 32MB and so the whole application just fell asleep.... example of chainsaw.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="true"> <plugin name="logFileReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver"> <param name="fileURL" value="file:///C:/path/to/my/file.log" /> <param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS"/> <param name="logFormat" value="TIMESTAMP [THREAD] LEVEL LOGGER METHOD MESSAGE"/> <param name="name" value="whatever" /> <param name="tailing" value="false" /> </plugin> <root> <level value="debug"/> </root> </log4j:configuration> > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Scott Deboy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 31.
