[Eric] eric4 - suggestions

[Matthieu TC]

Hello.
Thanks for your quick reply. Here is my follow-up.

This hardly works as I would expect it to. If I try to add a directory to the source tab, I can only add .py files.. The filetype combobox in 'Add Directory...' does not reflect the changes to the Filetype associations. 
Further, if I want to add a directory that is already there, the directory will be added twice.
And the only way to recursively add any file under a directory is to ever only use the 'others' tab and add it there.

nice :)

Okay.. but is there any way to use the Log Viewer (I'm not trying to debug, I'm running the script.)?  For heavy output, the shell isn't great.

I would be forever grateful :)

I'll do my best, some day next week.
