Thank you for your interest in Insight!

These are all very good feature suggestions. Could you please open feature
requests at the feature request tracker on SourceForge [1]. Some of the
features above, like #2 and #3 should be easy to implement. It should be
easy enough to hide columns if a particular log does not have the data
field, auto-sizing (#1) may have some performance implications, specially
for large log files. For your auto-load (#3) feature, we could provide a
tool bar button which essentially loads the last loaded file set?

Coloring based on priority (#5) is tricky though. This feature might
conflict with our current support for having log entries from different log
files in different color backgrounds. Insight does have colored icons next
to each priority level, if that does not suffice we could look at
alternates to enable a user to choose between log file or priority based
coloring.

Insight development has stagnated for sure, we do however welcome any help
we can get :-)
