SwingTail Description

SwingTail is a lightweight and easily manageable software, based on the Java/Swing platform and created as an implementation of the Unix tail command. The software acts as a text editor and analysis tool, since it allows you to open any type of file as Friendly graphic interface SwingTail is easy to work with thanks to the graphic interface that allows you to open several files at once. The tab display is suitable for opening and working with multiple files at the same time. Each header displays the name of the file, for quick identification and a play/pause button that enables/pauses the text analysis. The software also allows you to set bookmarks, on certain pieces of text or on the entire page, just as if you marked a webpage in your browser. All the bookmarks you create are displayed in the dedicated menu, sorted into custom groups. Moreover, aside from pages, you can also bookmark settings and load them at a later time. User actions and preferences for the working spaceThe software allows you to customize the working space in any way you wish, by changing the font style and size or deciding how many lines should be read from the end of the files when opening them. Initial buffer, row buffer and polltime can also be customized. Filters can also be applied, in order to ease the tailing process. When a trigger is matched, the filter can mark the instance with a color, with a sound, hide it or pause the tail. You may easily activate or deactivate a filter, at any time, so you do not need to delete it. Moreover, you can create several groups in which to sort your bookmarks, for a quick identification and access. Java-based application for text editingNot only can you view any file in SwingTail, in text format, but the software also allows you to place bookmarks, edit the text and analyze it. The application features a graphic user interface and offers you a friendly work environment. Moreover, the software is lightweight and does not require installation, making it convenient for you to transfer it and use it on any computer.
