I continue to like your app very much, thanks again!

One thing that would be very handy for me would be an option to show the last N lines of a text file. This would be quite universal, allowing any program to append information to the end of a textfile, which would then be displayed on the dsektop.

I would use that to filter the most important log messages from my servers and display them on the desktop.

Regards,
Floyd


The configuration dialog could look like this:
========================
Textfile
[ ] Show textfile
Title: [ ]
Textfile: [ ] Browse
Show last [ ] lines

========================
