Kate is not a log viewer, but a text editor. I suggest to use a specialized log viewer which has filtering features. Implementing this feature in a text editor requires major code changes, because people would expect that it also works while editing. Thanks for responding. I had hoped that the existing code folding functionality, that allows blocks of source code to be collapsed/expanded would allow lines that match a filter to be hidden/shown without too much difficulty. However I'm not familiar with the Kate source code so can't judge how big an effort this would be. I'm setting this to "Resolved/Not a Bug" since you've indicated the code changes would be major. There's also merit in not trying to add every possible feature to Kate. Perhaps a dedicated log viewer (can you recommend one?) would be better, allowing Kate to keep its focus on editing. |
