-# rlogg
+# RLogg - Fast Log File Viewer
 
-A fast log file viewer with search, filtering, and highlighting capabilities
+A fast, native log file viewer with search, filtering, and highlighting capabilities built with Rust and egui.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Fast Performance**: Handle large log files (GB+) with efficient line indexing
+- **Advanced Search**: Regex support, case-sensitive/insensitive search, date range filtering
+- **Syntax Highlighting**: Custom highlight rules with regex patterns
+- **Multiple Tabs**: Open and view multiple log files simultaneously
+- **Export Results**: Export filtered/searched results to new files
+- **Cross-Platform**: Native builds for Linux, Windows, and macOS
+- **Command-Line Interface**: Open files directly from terminal or OS file associations
+
+## Installation
+
+### From Source
+
+1. **Clone the repository:**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rlogg.git
+   cd rlogg
+   ```
+
+2. **Build in release mode:**
+   ```bash
+   cargo build --release
+   ```
+
+3. **The binary will be available at:**
+   ```
+   target/release/rlogg
+   ```
+
+### Linux
+
+#### Quick Install (User-Local)
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release
+cd packaging/linux
+./install.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+- Install `rlogg` to `~/.local/bin/`
+- Set up file associations for `.log` files
+- Configure desktop integration
+
+Make sure `~/.local/bin` is in your PATH:
+```bash
+export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
+```
+
+#### System-Wide Install
+
+```bash
+sudo cp target/release/rlogg /usr/local/bin/
+sudo cp packaging/linux/rlogg.desktop /usr/share/applications/
+sudo cp packaging/linux/text-x-log.xml /usr/share/mime/packages/
+sudo update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications
+sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
+```
+
+### Windows
+
+1. **Build the project:**
+   ```powershell
+   cargo build --release
+   ```
+
+2. **Run the installation script:**
+   ```powershell
+   cd packaging\windows
+   powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1
+   ```
+
+This will:
+- Install RLogg to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\RLogg`
+- Create file associations for `.log` files
+- Add "Open with RLogg" to the context menu
+
+## Usage
+
+### Graphical Interface
+
+**Launch without arguments:**
+```bash
+rlogg
+```
+
+Then use the "Open File" button to select log files.
+
+### Command-Line Interface
+
+**Open a single file:**
+```bash
+rlogg /path/to/file.log
+```
+
+**Open multiple files (each in a separate tab):**
+```bash
+rlogg file1.log file2.log file3.log
+```
+
+**Open all log files in a directory:**
+```bash
+rlogg /var/log/*.log
+```
+
+**Get help:**
+```bash
+rlogg --help
+```
+
+**Check version:**
+```bash
+rlogg --version
+```
+
+### File Associations
+
+After installation, you can:
+- **Double-click** `.log` files to open them in RLogg
+- **Right-click** → "Open With" → RLogg
+- **Drag and drop** multiple log files onto the RLogg icon
+
+See [docs/FILE_ASSOCIATIONS.md](docs/FILE_ASSOCIATIONS.md) for detailed setup and troubleshooting.
+
+## Features Guide
+
+### Search
+
+1. Enter search query in the search panel
+2. Choose case-sensitive or regex mode
+3. Optionally enable date range filtering
+4. Results are highlighted and filtered in real-time
+
+### Highlighting
+
+1. Click "Highlight Rules" to open the editor
+2. Add custom regex patterns with colors
+3. Rules are applied to all open files
+4. Perfect for highlighting errors, warnings, etc.
+
+### Tabs
+
+- Open multiple files simultaneously
+- Each file maintains its own search/filter state
+- Close tabs with the × button
+- Switch between tabs with mouse or keyboard
+
+### Export
+
+- Export filtered/searched results to a new file
+- Preserves line formatting
+- Useful for extracting specific log entries
+
+## Building
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Rust 1.70 or later
+- Cargo
+
+### Build Commands
+
+**Development build:**
+```bash
+cargo build
+```
+
+**Release build (optimized):**
+```bash
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+**Run directly:**
+```bash
+cargo run -- /path/to/file.log
+```
+
+**Run tests:**
+```bash
+cargo test
+```
+
+See [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) for detailed build instructions.
+
+## Packaging
+
+See [packaging/README.md](packaging/README.md) for instructions on creating distribution packages:
+- Linux: `.deb`, `.rpm`, AppImage, tarballs
+- Windows: Installers, ZIP archives
+
+## Configuration
+
+RLogg stores configuration in `rlogg_config.json` next to the executable:
+- Search history
+- Highlight rules
+- UI preferences
+- Date format settings
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Linux
+
+**File associations not working:**
+```bash
+update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
+update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime
+```
+
+**Binary not found:**
+Ensure `~/.local/bin` is in your PATH.
+
+### Windows
+
+**File associations not working:**
+1. Restart File Explorer
+2. Check registry entries (see [docs/FILE_ASSOCIATIONS.md](docs/FILE_ASSOCIATIONS.md))
+
+**Permission errors:**
+Run PowerShell as Administrator or install to user directory.
+
+For more troubleshooting, see [docs/FILE_ASSOCIATIONS.md](docs/FILE_ASSOCIATIONS.md).
