Open latest log file in a series

When an application or subsystem is restarted, a new log file is created. The name of the log file is suffixed with a series number.  Logs that are split after exceeding size thresholds also use series numbers.  Consequently, the log folder for a given day may contain a series of log files.

If you have a log file open, the File > Open Latest in Series command opens the most recent log file in the series.  The equivalent keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+N.  Note that this command opens the latest log file in the series, not the next sequentially numbered file in the series. 

For example, if the Interaction Administrator log has seven log files in series, the Open Latest in Series command opens Interaction Administrator_7.ininlog if any other logs in the series are open.
