I was extremely confused/dismayed to learn that control-x "clear file" deletes underlying data.

I was expecting clear to mean clear the screen, as it has in other log viewers I've used before. ex: Visual Syslog. Clear, control-x, clears the screen.

ie - Clear the screen visually but still have new file entries come in. I would have never expected this to delete the underlying data.

When I asked for help in the chat, other users told me that Klogg could NOT delete.

I suggest

the menu be updated to be clear that "clear" means delete.
There be some way for me to clear the log visually.

Looking at this thread, it seems like this might have been intentional....but it was still extremely surprising to a new Klogg user.
