That RegEx seems to match for me when I test it. Could you send me a screenshot of the whole Log Category rule?

Thanks!

The screenshot above used a placeholder name. This screenshot is the real name and regex.

While I was testing to re-confirm that AnalyticalTools.log is matched but AnalyticalTools.log.1 is not, I tried manually setting the category for AnalyticalTools.log.1 to "AT Log", and now the category is applied correctly.

It also seems like the behaviour is different whether I open a file using "Open File" or drag-and-drop. That is, when I open a file, the log category is applied correctly. But if I drag-and-drop, no log category is applied, even if I close the file and re-open it using the "Open File" button.

Maybe something is being cached somewhen when it shouldn't?

Interesting! Do you have Columns and/or Highlights configured in that rule? I don't need to see the specific ones, just want to make sure I test with a similar rule to yours.

Thanks!

I have columns but no highlights.

Ok, thanks! I'll do some in-depth testing here and see what I can find out.

Ok, so I've setup my rule the same as yours, and tested both a regular Open, and a drag and drop, and both correctly applied the Log Category to the files.

So! I'm not sure what might be happening on yours, but could you try changing the matching type from RegEx to Pattern? That should still work with the wildcard, and I'm curious to see if it makes any difference here.

Thanks!
