DateField and TimeField are not available in ncurses mode. > In general it looks too crowded and there is too much control on page > and not so much space for messages. > I think it will be better to have here only two buttons: > refresh ( load new log entries ) > filter ( specify filter by time and source ) I agree is too cluttered. Moving the filters to a dialog looks like a good idea, but always combined with a sentence explaining the current active filter. Something like: " Displaying log entries for all sources since system boot [Change...] " Sentences with "moving parts" are usually tricky for i18n, but more intuitive. > ( notice that there is no "OK" button, as I think that X for close is > enough ) Yes, that was a leftover from copypaste. :-) > and having almost all space for table with log entries, because it is > the most important information. About that, there is something else I'm struggling with. For each log entry we could also have a detailed version[1]. I'm not sure whether display it in a dialog (when double-clicking in the table row) or whether reserve some space in the interface below the table to display details about the selected row (like we do in sw_single with the packages). I prefer the first because it saves space for the list. > more like this tools: > http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/i/000001-100000/75001-80000/75001-76000/75730.tif/_jcr_content/renditions/75730.jpg > http://www.kiwisyslog.com/kiwiSysLog/media/images/products/LogViewer/carousel/Log-Viewer-Log-File.jpg?width=800&height=560&ext=.jpg > http://www.netupd8.com/w8img/972p7d.jpg > > BTW coloring log entries according to its importance would be nice. Maybe, but you don't want me to choose the colors :-) Cheers.
