Valéry,

That is something I have been meaning to do for a while. If you would like to take on the initial task, I can add you to be a co-maintainer!

The original writer wrote the code in C with bits in early C++. I have since just "fixed" the code where it was not working and did not at that juncture want to completely re-write it.

Feel free to send me email directly.

Subject: xlogmaster with gtk2


Hi,

I recently discovered xlogmaster and I must admit I find it great!
Not only to check the log files, but the TAIL, CAT and RUN modes allows to extend it to many other things.
Thank you very much for this.

I was looking into migrating its interface into gtk2 (which I've done quite quickly by migrating only the invalid gtk1.2 code), however it still looks "old style".
So, if you agree, I would be interested in reviewing in depth the interface but of course still keep the heart of the tool unchanged as much as possible.

I've quickly drafted what could be the new gtk2 interface so you can see what I'm thinking about.
The code is in attachment.

Could you tell me if you agree or not on this ? and what you think about it ?

Quick questions on the code also: is there any reason why some parts of the code are in C++ and other in C ?

Thanks in advance
Kind Regards

Valere <dobedo> Monseur
