I'll have to look at what you've done so far and get back to you.  I think
my opinion is that the more the user can control the output of the File
Visualizer, the better. ]

Agreed. I remember adding a few extra options to the gui. If required we
can add more. The sample result can contain everything and the visualizer
writes whatever is setup by the user.

Not that I know of.]

Do you think it would be required by a lot of people out there? The code is
complex ;-( and I am still working on it.

I just personally don't like them.  I can deal, though.  It's great having
other developers helping out and adding things I would never have thought
of.  Maybe I could simply throw out some ideas for alternatives to log
statements:
1. Write unit tests instead of log statements if the purpose is to verify
the code is working right.
2. Run JMeter with a tool that allows you to step through the code if the
purpose is to learn how JMeter works or see the runtime values of
variables.
This is not always a better solution, but it should be considered.

Note, I'm not saying all logging is bad - just that some of it appears to
be
a clumsy way of doing one of the above.
