[...] > WDYT? I think the feature is interesting. However, the implementation seems inefficient. Why do you need to parse all log entries if all you're interested in is the last one? Parsing the last one should be sufficient. Better, you could store the last note as a text property on the headline and skip altogether the parsing phase. WDYT? Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
