It should work. It's been a while since I tested it on Windows, however, but the code hasn't changed. The code tries to read line-by-line from the file in a separate thread, returning data to the GUI when it can. I suspect it might depend whether your logging program opens the log file once, or repeatedly reopens it. If you know python, you could try this loop to see whether it works while your program is logging: f = open(r'\path\to\logfile') while True: print f.readline() It might be possible to write a short script to return new data in the log file and use that instead, rather than a file. > Is there a way to hide the reload window while it works with the "reload > every" option enabled or at least to iconify or minimize or hide it? > Now, in order to see the plot, I have to move the reload window in a > corner of the screen while keeping it visible, and this is really annoying. The minimise button is there on Linux, but not Windows. It looks like I need to add a window style hint to the non-modal dialog boxes to make them minimisable. You can resize the dialog, if that helps. I'll fix this. I thought there may be some tool for hiding windows in Windows, but I can't see anything.
