Hi to all,

Today I want to share one of y tools to make the process of debugging portmon logs more faster and eye refreshing, this nautilus script is intended for the users that has a GNU/Linux with any of the Gnome flavors as a develop environment. (works with the default Ubuntu's Unity)

The goal is to clean the original portmon serial logs from all the non essential "garbage" to make it more easy to analyze, but remember that under certain circumstances you will have to look at the original log, so this tool will preserver it.

To make it work you must surf into the folder ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/ and copy it inside; It's as easy as follow this instructions:

* Press Alt+F2 and paste "~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/" in the box + Enter, a nautilus window will open, o If it complains about the folder not existing or do nothing, please do this extra steps: o Press Alt+F2 and paste "~/.local/share/nautilus/", A nautilus window will open o Create a folder named "scripts" (without quotes) and open it, now follow the next step * Just paste the file there, * Right-click the file and select properties, then permissions * Tick the box about allowing to run it as a program * Close the nautilus windows, that's all.

After that you will need to find a portmon serial log and right-click it, search for and option named "Scripts" and after expanding it you will find the "Chirp portmon clean log" option, select it and a file with the exact name and an extension of .clean will appear on your folder, additionally the Gedit text editor will pop up with the clean log on it.

Compare the original and cleaned log and your will find that your eyes/brain will thanks you for this. This also works with several files at once; as always use it, share it, improve it, it's GNU GPL 3.0

[The long name is because I have a lot of scripts in my script folder and I group them by the main related activity, of course you can change the name of it once it's recognized by the system]
