Less Shitty Logcat

A lightweight, standalone ADB logcat viewer, using WPF
Especially useful for Unity development with many plugins and for 
(e.g.) Samsung devices with the once-per-frame log spam.
	
github.com/JonathanDotCel

Features:

Multiple Filters (And/Or)

	 e.g. "Unity" or "Ads" or "Billing" (without resorting to regex)
	 e.g. "Unity" and "pid:748"
	 e.g. exclude [SurfaceView]

Side by Side view with separate buffers

	 View filtered and unfiltered logs at the same time. Separate buffers.
	 The thing you're focused on won't scroll off screen due to random background noise.

Exclusion filters

	 Takes effect before even hitting the filtered/unfiltered buffers. Tranquil.

Pause

	 Leave the logcat connection open, but queue up messages while you catch your breath, 
	 search StackOverflow, etc.

Autoscroll that works... and Scroll Lock that works!

	 Jerk-free scrolling without scroll lock constantly re-enabling itsself. 		 
	 Smooth scrolling and perfectly steady focus on a single message, even while earlier 
	 messages are being purged.		 
	 And no wrestling to take control of the scroll bar.
	 (Looking at you, eclipse)

Log Grouping

	 E.g. when a thread sends 2 or more messages with the same timestamp, like Unity stack traces.

Text Wrap in a single list item

	 It's not split over a bunch of different lines.

Limit buffers by item count

	 Why should you know/care how much (e.g.) 100mb gets you. Define it by count.

C#

	 Easy street getting it open in VS2017 and jumping right in. No external deps. Except ADB.

Todo / Limitations:

	Unfortunately I've had only 2 days to write this initial version so it'll need 
	some love and attention going forward.
	
	- Copypasta
	- Limit by Level (Assert/Debug/Warn/Info, etc)
	- Save user settings.

lessshittylogcat's Issues

Add a quick realtime search

Similar to the top bar in Android Device Monitor, it's super useful to have a quick search bar to filter results and not need to edit inclusion filters for this.

Would be nice to have a separate search bar for both views.

Some characters not accepted in filters

Underscores, dashes and +/= are not accepted characters in filters even though all these characters can appear in logcat tags

Dragging the scrollbar should untick autoscroll.

Text wrapping only affects new log messages

The text wrap option should update all existing log messages, not just new log items.

Add copy to clipboard functionality

Copying to clipboard is something I use a lot in the Android Device Monitor when helping developers debug issues in their apps.

It should support copying all the selected line in a format similar to the Android Device Monitor in a format like this:
09-11 10:15:40.177: D/DisplayPowerController(3700): setActualDisplayState: DOZE -> DOZE_SUSPEND
09-11 10:15:40.178: D/GameManagerService(3700): onDisplayChanged. displyId: 0, state: 4
09-11 10:15:40.178: D/AOD_LIVE_CLOCK@LiveClockController(9293): updateDisplayState: DISPLAY_STATE_DOZE_SUSPEND
