Open Log…

Menu:  File -> Open Log...

Toolbar: image\file_openlog_inhelp.gif

Accelerator: Ctrl + O

 

This function invokes the Open logfile dialog from where you can:

·      set the base directory for the current logchannel, and

·      open an existing logfile in a new logfile document window.

Multiple logfiles can be open the same time. Use the Window menu to switch among them.

 

Tips:

Note that there are several other ways to open logfiles:

·      Use the Open Single Logfile... function to open a logfile without setting up the logchannel directory first.

·      Use the Open Recent Log function when you want to open the newest logfile of the current logchannel.

·      And from Windows Explorer you can use:

·      drag and drop:
Drop a single file on ITLogBook and it will be opened immediately.
You can even drop a logchannel
directory. ITLogBook will popup the "Open Log…" dialog showing this directory.

·      double-clicking:
Double-click a file to open it in ITLogBook. This also works when ITLogBook isn’t running yet and starts it then. If you then load more files by double-clicking this instance of ITLogBook
-- as a true multiple document application -- loads them too.
