Please fix the usability of the Log Viewer

[flexjoly]

Hi,

The 'new' Log Viewer in the evolution skin, is still irritating very much.
At the moment I am searching in the log to find any clue on an error. Then you are looking at multiple logs. In the old skin it was almost easy:

• select a log
• click on 'show log'
• select the next log
• click on 'show log'

To show a log in the current skin you need to do the following AGAIN and AGAIN:

• scroll back to top
• click on the select box
• scroll through the list of logs > in the far right of the popup-box
• click on the bullit or name of the log you want to see > this is in the far LEFT of the popup-box
  clicking anywhere on the line does not work
• after clicking the log is NOT automatically opened > so you need to click on 'load log'
• the log is opened as part of the whole page, which makes scrolling easy, BUT to select another log, you need to scroll back....

It really takes so much more time, when you need to look into multiple logs.

When you want to see 100 lines or more, and those are long lines. To see the end of a line:

• remember the line number
• scroll down to the end of the log, to get the horizontal scrollbar
• scroll to right
• scroll back up to find the line you want to see

Sometimes the whole line is not visible even after scrolling right.

When changing an option you need to:

• click on the options-line to open the options-box
• click on the field you want to change
• entering > does nothing.....
• click outside the box to close it
• click on 'load log' to (re)load the log

The following would help a lot:

• the selectbox remembers which log is selected just like a normal html-selectbox
• the whole line is clickable and will selected the corresponding log
• the log is loaded automatically on select
• the log is shown in a separate box with its own scrollbar
• when opening the options-box the buttons 'load log' etc are shown below it, so you do not need to close the box because the buttons became invisible
• enter in the options-box loads the log

Please! Thanks in advance!
