ok, cool, I'll wait on the next release for that. Thanks. 2. You can turn off the exit prompt - see the View-Show application wide > preferences menu. Should have looked there, sorry. Maybe you can put a checkbox in the exit prompt like some applications do? 3. There is no 'and'ing support using 'focus on' in the tree.

You can 'ignore this package' two ways: > - In the logger tree, ctrl-shift-double click on a package to add to the > 'ignore' list. > - Add a 'NOT' expression to the filter (or search) boxes, for example: > msg ~= 'some msg' && ( ! ( logger ~= org.apache.log4j.chainsaw ) ) I understand those ways, but I need to either locate the package in the logger tree or type it in. What I am looking for is an easier way to select the package I want to ignore from the logging statements. It's just that I'm lazy I guess :) 5. There is a slightly useful expression builder available in the > filter/search box - hit ctrl-space, or right click the mouse.

You can save a query in the list by hitting 'enter' at the end of the > expression - it's not remembered on restart, though. Maybe that would be helpful to have remembered. Of course, that would probably mean that someone will request a way to clean up that list :) Automatic cleanup for statements that are not use in the latest 100 sessions or 30 days or something might be an option also. Hope this helps It does, thanks!
