Hi,
Just bought LogFusion to test out (3.1.5). Trying to use the 'Event Log' logic to have an easier way searching through them.
First of: What is the primary difference between opening the Event Log's through 'Event Log' or 'Event Channel' ? I think I found one reference about .NET 2.0 API not supporting all types of Event Log logic. And the .NET 3.x was needed to get all the 'sub-channels'.
If System or Application log. I guess the result should be identical, independent of using 'Event Log' or 'Event Channel' to open it.
Here's my real problem: When I open System or Application log through 'Event Channel', the 'Message' column text is not complete. Looks to take random parts of the whole message text, or nothing. If I use 'Event Log' to open, it looks ok. Easy to see difference by opening two tabs of same Event Log through 'Event Log' and 'Event Channel' side by side.
I am missing something obvious ? I can attach screenshots if needed. But I have tested this on my main machine (Win 8.1 x64), and a clean test VM (Win 7.1 x64). Both give the same behaviour.

Did we ever find out what the difference between the two are?
