Tools to flexibly analyse and browse through captured gstreamer debug log files.

[edit] Idea

The general layout should be something like

+------------------------------------+
| time pane                          |
|                                    |
+----------+-------------------------+
| category | log data                |
| & levels |                         |
|          |                         |
|          |                         |
|          |                         |
+----------+-------------------------+

[edit] Time pane

• expanders for states and events
• in each expander have
  • a time ruler
  • table with row for each element with
    • the element name
    • the graph
• clicking on time in ruler/graphs goes to log-line

[edit] Category and levels

• tree view with catelogies and a combobox to chose debug level

[edit] Log data

• treeview to show logdata as a list with separated fields
• allow to show/hide fields (context menu on treeview?)

[edit] Technical ideas

[edit] Logdata

• mmap file
• parse once
  • count lines
  • count elements and generate a list with element names
  • allocate array[lines] and file with pointers to lines

[edit] Open Questions

• hide elemnts in graphs?
• globaly choose log-level?
• zoom on the time axis?
