24 | One important feature of this plugin is the ability to inform the tab in |
25 | which it resides of the currently selected event. By clicking on an event, |
26 | it will appear highlighted in the list and this event will then become the |
27 | current event. |

38 | The viewer's configuration window permits a selection of the fields that |
39 | must be displayed in the event viewer. There are fields which can always be |
40 | selected, as, for example, event type or time of the event, while there are |
41 | fields that are specific to the event types present in the trace. A browse |
42 | list, following the nested architecture of the description of events, will |
43 | show all the available fields on the left. A list at the right side will |
44 | list all the currently selectied fields. Two arrows in the middle of the |
45 | two lists can be used to add or remove a field from the shown fields list. |
