[Lister:] option to auto-reload the changed text files?

[ghisler(Author)]

Some plugins may be intercepting the hotkey.

No way - I tried to open these logs in a Lister's mode "without any plugins".
F2 not also works exactly for LOGS in a real-time.
Indeed - only 3rd party tools could "follow the tail" in such cases.

AntonyD,
F2 only reloads, it does not scroll to the end.

I know. But it' does not change written above, sorry(((
Of course, the keybinding works: F2 and after that immediately END.
And of course, it is worth considering that even if this combination worked always and without fail, it is very inconvenient to work with real logs in this way. And so it turns out that "a replacement" is being sought that can do this in a more advanced way.

"a replacement"

As I wrote before; the replacement is, for example, baretail, which is much better at it and specializes in it.

I use it with some 'tricks':

- mainly I use it with SFTP plugin and shell commands on linux machines, (mainly shell scripts which have an output (which is then logged to file "path\tcftp.log" by sftp-plugin))
- Because baretail is not a plugin, I have placed it exactly on then left panel with mode "always in top". So it looks like it is an normal plugin in the panel every time after it is started.
- SFTP connecton is on the right panel and I am working with Tc command line and sh-scripts (./scriptname.sh) on linux
- Using baretail colors
- Because Baretail has a longtime splashscreen (I do not want to buy the fullversion because I do not know if the company exists any more) I often only minimize the tool and do not stop it.
- I have an cmd batch with powershell command in it that runs every time before starting SFTP plugin in my Tc menu (dirmenu, I do not use buttons) and checks via Get-WmiObject -Namespace if baretail is running and starts baretail if not. (With a switch to disable this automaticly start of baretail)
- You can save and restore BareTail.udm file(s) for different purposes.
- The characters of the logging are a bit washed out because it doesn't use the most modern libraries.
