Displays emoji to indicate the type of each log entry, improves export as Rich Text, and augments fields when copying entries.
Signposts
The four types of log entry, all the fields they can contain, and those they are likely to include, shown in the order and colour scheme used in LogUI. Censorship and how to disable it, with a signed profile to do so.
It turns out that ‘nanosecond’ times introduced in LogUI are largely artefact. Is higher resolution timing really needed, and how can it be obtained?
Improves Signposts feature and makes a couple of minor corrections.
Supports both continuous and discontinuous selection of log entries, copy their text contents, Signposts, and smart window and file naming.
Each log entry has a messageType field, enabling you to obtain and show just more significant entries, and to find errors and faults almost instantly.
How long does it take to write a Signpost to the unified log? Measuring this is essential if you’re going to use them to measure performance.
Makes it easy to write, harvest and analyse Signposts in the log to measure performance. Important fix for Apple Silicon too.
Changes since Mojave are subtle. No new fields have been added to the log format, and code-level access is largely undocumented. Console remains at version 1.1.
One solution to running 32-bit apps in Catalina is a VM. Here I assess the performance of Parallels Desktop 15. Is it up to the job?
