           Summary: open log in kate/favorite editing program
           Product: konversation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: omega blackcatgames com


Version:           revision 570312 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Instead of opening the channel log in a tab (which grossly lags konversation and only shows a part of the log), I would like logs to open in kate or any other text editor. 

This would involve creating an option in Behavior => Logging. For example a checkbox for "open logfile in custom text editor" would work. Enabling it would enable a previously disabled input line where you could type the name of your favorite texteditor's executable. (similar to how you define a custom web browser)

When this option is enabled, pressing ctrl+o or right-clicking the channel and selecting open log file for $channel would then open the log in an external editor instead of konversation.

Perhaps this could even be a default option?
