Release: BDO leaked commercial log viewer

I have created a utility that makes reading these json-formatted log files a LOT easier
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O8_...ew?usp=sharing

It is a BDO JSON Log file viewer for ALL BDO servers based on the leaked commercial files.

Compare this to looking at a raw JSON file:
https://tscscreencastlive.blob.core....A33%3A43Z&sp=r
https://tscscreencastlive.blob.core....A47%3A55Z&sp=r

It breaks that messy log into something that can be read easily by humans. It also contains a translation function to translate the highlighted cell.

It is specialized to deal with BDO Log files so do not try using it to view any other kind of .json file.

Functions:
Translation - pick your source and destination language (there is no auto detect function. You need to know what the source language is). Highlight one or more cells to be translated, right click and select translate. Uses the old subscription-free google translate web api. This api may go away at any time on google's whim and when that happens, the translate functions will stop working.

Opening files - files can be opened in one of 4 ways -

1. Drag a log .json file onto an open log viewer window and drop it.
2. Drag a log .json file onto the program's desktop icon and drop it.
3. Put the from the command line with the file name as a command line parameter. Be sure to put the file name in quotes if the directory contains one or more spaces.
4. Using the handy "Open Log File" menu.

The columns may be resized. I For performance reasons I do not do this automatically for you. You can resize the columns individually by either dragging the separator between titles or selecting "Resize Column" when you have a cell in that column selected and right click. Resizing textual columns can take a little while on large logs.

You can also automagically fit all the columns on the spreadsheet by either selecting "Resize All columns (slow!)" or by clicking the "Resize Columns". Be warned though - this takes a lot of time on large log files whether triggered from the menu bar or pop-up menu.

Known issues:
Date/Time column not populating
Translation does not work for the application itself. The application is written in English. The translation is only for the data you are highlighting.

Not a bug
All context menu functions depend on having a highlighted or selected cell and will mostly work on information around that selected cell. This is because the selected cell contains information to drive the Translate and column resize functions when you select in the pop-up menu. Right mouse clicking over the cell is not enough.

You can also do multiple translations at once by selecting a group of contiguous cells. You cannot select the entire row and have the translation function work. This is to prevent overloading the Google web api and slowing things down to a crawl.

Requirements:
This application is written in c#/.Net 6 You will need that installed before you can run it.

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think of it

---------- UPDATE -------------
- Fixed the data display issues.
- Added an application icon.
-------
- known issue "English is highlighted as the source language and Korean as the target. You will want to switch these before translating anything :)
