I can't remember if an installer exists but I'm using the portable version (Latest version 1.9.7.0 (4.0.30319.42000)) in a writeable directory.

[1] If I use CTRL+O to open a file and check "File->Recent Files" I can see it there, if I close and restart the app it has been removed.

I have just started using this tool and the following are the main annoyances I have with it:

[2] I can't select text out of the log to copy to the clipboard, it only allows the selection of whole lines.

[3] The window never remembers where it was or it's size

[4] Minimize/Close to tray should be an option, not a choice that needs to be made every time. This makes [1] even more annoying after I accidentally close the app (I'm used to how most tray apps work).

[A.1] I see that option but I don't want it saved in registry, I thought this was a portable program, why isn't it saved with the rest of the files (SnakeTail.exe.history or history.xml)? I will use that option for now, but I don't like that I need to, and it certainly isn't clear that not having it ticked means no history is kept.

[A.2] Neither double or triple-clicking a line does anything. I don't know why a simple click and drag (standard throughout virtually the whole OS and most programs - at least on Windows) isn't used to select what you want.

[A.3] I found a session file in the log directory I was monitoring! If I load this file (now moved and renamed to "SnakeTail.xml") The log shows with the highlight options. I haven't done anything to the "SnakeTail.exe.config" file that the app created. And I can't see the save default button you were going to create. The monitored log file(s) is not restored.

If I try "SnakeTail.exe CopyQ.xml" then the log file is opened twice. So I can get it to open ZERO or TWO times.
