Logseen 4+

I just downloaded this from the app store, and went to load a 25MB log file and it crashed immediately. I thought maybe it had to do with the size but it crashes immediately when opening any file.

Seems to be working just fine on High Sierra and I don’t remember it crashing on Sierra. Useful search feature that lets keywords persist when switching files and the numbering is convenient.

The only thing I wouldn’t mind which I find annoying abiout logs in general is some white space between each line or the ability to turn this feature on and off to make it easier to quickly distinguish where one ends and the next begins.

Not sure what the other reviewers issue was when opening files…maybe a non-log file type was opened? I successfully opened a number of various files like xml plists and trace files but opening unusual filetypes did crash the app but that’s not really what it’s for..I guess an error message instead of the crash would help the uninformed.

Got this when trying to open a .html file:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: '-[NSAlert runModal] may only be invoked from the main thread. Behavior on other threads is undefined.'
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
)

I just installed this application and I am totally impressed by the clean interface and ability to jump to search matches in a log file.

This is the best log viewing app that I have seen so far.
