A couple of comments about the 'focus on' expression-based capabilities: I'll add a 'remove from focus' to the right mouse button that will add the ! (whatever is under mouse) to the 'focus on' text field
Please note that when you're in the 'focus on' text field, you can press the right mouse button or ctrl-space to pop up an expression building context menu that updates as you build the expression (displaying the keywords, operators or values for the keyword, depending on where you are in the expression) Scott -----Original Message----- From: Ceki Gülcü [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 5:13 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: [Chainsaw]: Ant-based installer How about allowing both? Ignoring just the selected node in the tree (as is the case currently) **or** ignoring the selected node and its children. The solution of expressions suggested by Scott offers a far more precise control but probably is harder to put in place for the user. Just my 2 shallow cents.
