We're excited to announce the release of Simple Logs version 1.1.0! This update focuses on enhancing the user experience with a streamlined search workflow, improved visual design, and more intuitive filter controls.
New Features
Streamlined Save Search Workflow: Saved searches are now identified by their filter content directly, eliminating the need for manual naming. This makes saving and managing your frequently-used filters faster and more intuitive.
Icon-Based Filter Toggles: The filter bar now features icon toggle buttons with tooltips for all controls, providing a cleaner, more modern interface. Log level filters (TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL) are now represented by intuitive icons that match the analysis view.
Real-Time Search Highlighting: Search terms are now highlighted instantly as you type, providing immediate visual feedback without needing to wait for backend processing.
Consistent Visual Language: Log level icons are now consistent across the entire extension - the same icons appear in the filter bar, saved searches display, and analysis view for a cohesive experience.
Improvements
Enhanced Toolbar Layout: Action buttons (Clear, Line Numbers, Wrap, Auto-scroll) are now right-aligned in the toolbar, creating better visual separation between search controls and view actions.
Saved Search Display: Saved searches now show a preview of the search filter with inline visual indicators (regex
.*, match caseAa, level icons) instead of generic names, making it easier to identify and select the right filter at a glance.Visual Consistency: The entire UI now uses icon-based controls with consistent styling, making the interface cleaner and more professional.
