Alert if Highlight found

[petvo78]

Hi, would be great implement an "alert". Whenever a Highlight is triggered, add possibility to make a Tray-icon message or calling an external application.

Hi, could you describe a usage scenario for this? It looks like you want to open a file, enable follow mode, select a highlight pattern and then after a new line that matches the highlight appears in the file klogg should do something to notify user.

Hi! Yes exactly.

Like

• "send email",
• "Microsoft tray icon alert (toast)"
• or trigger an external app.

App "LogExpert" uses a solution like this: https://i.imgur.com/xmW773H.png

Ok, I see how that could be useful. I don’t want to add heavy functions like sending an email. Triggering external app/script should be enough for most cases. Or we can add a plug-in system (I saw something like that in one of the forks), and then the notification plugins could be developed separately.
