http Syntax Coloring is great; but why only 50?
Posted: Wed May 19, 2010 4:09 pm
I just got an email from your sales team encouraging me to provide suggestions..
Here is mine, which i would really like to see, because i really rely upon it..
I very much like the syntax coloring that results from hitting the 'View the last 50 log entries' button; my only suggestion is this:
make it a 2-part button:
- a field with a number, if you insist on the number 50, make it a default, but allow any number as the number of log entries to see..
- a button that says 'View' (or something)
The reason i am suggesting this is that MagicSpam marks between 1000 and 4000 messages per day as spam. i have to say that i believe the accuracy to be 99.999999%; but when a client says 'i need you to really examine the logs to see if *any* real email was lost, well, it is so much more comfortable to use the colored syntax, rather than looking at thousands of lines that all look the same...
i use BBEdit regularly, and i tried to re-create the syntax-coloring scheme you have for those 'last 50', but i do not know BBEdit quite as well as i would like to...
To me, this would be just as useful a modification as the 'log search' feature you just recently introduced...
In any case, your product is great! This is no criticism; it's just a suggestion for adding even more greatness!
Thank you,
Be Well,
Peter
