It will change to a red X if the file is deleted or otherwise inaccessible by LogFusion :) ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#27 Mon, 26 Sep 2016 09:07:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#27 LogFusion Indeed, the flickering issue has been solved. Very nice!

Question though: what are the check marks for? Because even if the logfiles contain new lines, the check mark remains the same (there's no indication a log file changed, which is useful when having 20 files open). ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#26 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:14:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#26 LogFusion LogFusion 5.0 is now available, and it should no longer show the hourglass permanently on remote logs :) ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#25 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 19:19:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#25 LogFusion Excellent, glad to hear it!

I haven't seen it happen once. The remote logs I have tried so far permanently display the hour glass icon, but I'll take that over the flashing any day!

Thanks! ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#23 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:52:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#23 LogFusion We've just released LogFusion 5.0 Beta 1 (https://www.logfusion.ca/Download/Beta), and this should be much better now.

I'm reading the logs from a Windows file share over our network. It happens on logs that I only have read access to as well as logs that I have full access to.

When I open files on my local hard drive there is no blinking. When I open a file from my local hard driver by a network path (\\[computername]\d$\...) all tabs start blinking, even local tabs. ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#15 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 06:14:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#15 LogFusion

I've opened 4 tabs with files ranging from 47kb to 700kb from a network share, and the tabs plus UTF-8 dropdown are flickering like crazy, it's really distracting.

And it's such a shame too, because it has everything we need (except tab grouping!). ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#12 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 19:33:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#12 LogFusion Ok, thanks Coban! ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#11 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:59:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#11 LogFusion For more information, this does happen (though not quite as bad) when I have one 4KB log file open over a high speed, low latency wired network connection. Testing the network connection resulted in 1ms pings and over 50Mbps throughput.

I'm also pretty sure this didn't happen before the 4.1 release. ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#10 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:50:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#10 LogFusion Thanks for the update guys! I wonder if it has to do with refreshing large log files over slow links.

All of the logs I open are over an SMB share, when I am on my companies network it flickers really fast and I wasn't able to get a screenshots of it happening. Right now I'm working over a VPN connection and I can see that the icon is changing from a green check to an hourglass. I was able to get a couple of screenshots, while doing that I did realize that all of the tabs are disappearing when it is flashing. In each screenshot I have the same log files open. ]]> RE: Tab Bar and Tool Bar Flash with updates in 4.1 https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#8 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 20:30:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/tab-bar-and-tool-bar-flash-with-updates-in-41/?ID=b6b7422a-10d3-41b7-ae12-d5f9b08dea67#8 LogFusion @Coban: We weren't able to fix the encoding control flicker, but we were never able to reproduce the whole UI flickering either.
