Advanced Log Viewer

Advanced Log Viewer is free tool for both personal and commercial use. It`s designed for easy but powerful viewing of log files in Windows.

This tool is developed in my free time as an independent hobby-project for enjoying of development in C# and also for simplification of my daily work when I have to INVESTigate some log files.

List of key features:

- Possibility to browse for logs around Currently opened log file
- One log message is represented by one item in log viewer (multiline message is parsed as one item - typically exception)
