Hi,

a request for better support on viewing log-files

I usually use PsPad as Editor AND Viewer. 
Especially to view logfiles two features would be very nice:

1.) Automatic displaying the last line of file (automatic refresh on
external change of the file and immediately displaying the last line (like
the good old "tail -f" from UNIX))

2.) Extending the Highligting to set the color of the complete line when a
certain keyword occurs in the line. If possible the position of the keyword
within the line should be able to be specified via regex ... (for example:
lines containing the keyword "Error" after a date on beginning of line
(for example regex: > ^[\d\.]* Error .* <) should be configurable to get
a red background ...)
