Hello!

We currently use Log4View in our company to receive log messages via custom TCP channel. We wrote our own receiver and this works perfectly well.

But we have also log files in a custom binary format, which cannot be opened by Log4View by default. We'd like to use Log4View as viewer for those binary log files too, but how can we extend Log4View to recognized our file format/file extension?

Is it currently possible to write an extension (receiver?) that extends the file formats supported by Log4View? Such an extension could also support loading log messages from a file supplied via command line.

Do you have plans to support that / would that be a good idea?
