Feature request: scroll to the end of logs and search within logs

Hi,

Not sure where I'm supposed to put the feature request so here you go:

I log a lot ... I need to understand what my algos are doing and troubleshoot if needed, every now and then an algo raises an exception or something unexpected happens. It is then quite painful to scroll down many, many times to get to the last log entry in a backtest. I have therefore 2 requests:
1) I would be nice to be able to scroll to the end with a single button.
2) I would also like to be able to search the full logs (even parts that are not yet loaded in the display). Really helpful when we try to understand a decision made by the algo in the middle of the backtest!

those are silly changes but I'm wasting a lot of time, scrolling and searching the logs and I'm sure I'm not the only one! Or I'm the only one not knowing about some features of Q... which is quite possible!

regards
Fabien

"Download log file" button could be useful.

Yes but unfortunately that's not compliant with the data providers agreements... but at least being able to exploits the log files would be nice
it would also be nice to filter out debug vs info vs warn log messages
