By default, the log show command and Ulbow display log entries using the time zone set when they were written to the log. Bringing consistency in a new build of LogUI.

Getting the date and time stamp of log entries to use rounded microseconds, and how to ensure a log extract uses the current time zone throughout.
It turns out that ‘nanosecond’ times introduced in LogUI are largely artefact. Is higher resolution timing really needed, and how can it be obtained?
Although Macs can resolve time to nanoseconds, this isn’t apparent from tests writing log entries very rapidly. This explains what is probably happening.
Although there are important differences between Intel and Apple silicon Macs, both can resolve time to nanoseconds. So can this new version of LogUI.
Actions are moved to its toolbar to improve use. Selected messages can now be extracted into a window for editing (all Macs) and summary using Writing Tools (Apple silicon).
Open multiple windows in LogUI, set them up to obtain the same log extract, then apply different searches to each. A powerful way to read long and complex log extracts.
Search your log extract instantly to show only entries containing the chosen text in their message, process name, sender name, or subsystem.
Stepping through the stages in security checks made on a notarized Mach-O binary command tool, in Ventura 13.4.1 2 years ago, and now in Sequoia 15.4.1.
Why can apps take many seconds or even minutes to launch on some Macs? More results to puzzle and perplex, and a strategy to address the problem.
