Public bug reported: The Log File Viewer displays cryptic abbreviations followed by an equals sign to present items in the log. People find this layout difficult to read and interpret. It's not an efficient way to present the information. A more human friendly layout is possible. For example, a Nautilus like "List" or "Details" view with headers. Information would list under its corresponding header and accordingly be easily found and interpreted.
The current layout & manner of presenting log information should be changed to a more "human friendly" presentation.
