• I have used the search function to see if someone else has already submitted the same bug report.
• I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.

App version

3.8

Windows version

10 22H2

Steps to reproduce

The program is running with elevated permissions under the same user context.
Log file is saved to %Userprofile%\simplewall.log. It can be opened and viewed manually. Data inside the file is valid.

Click the Show log button or use the shortcut key (CTRL+I).

Expected behavior

The log file should open using the viewer configured.

Actual behavior

If enable packet logging interface is enabled, nothing happens.
If enable packet logging interface is disabled, notepad opens and displays the contents of notepad.exe.

I can confirm this bug! It occurs at least since version 3.7.7:
Having definined an external Log viewer app and using "Show Log" will start this external viewer with showing the defined simplewall.log file and additional the defined viewer exe file itself!

Hi, I can confirm, that the bug has gone with version 3.8.2.
But I don't use notepad as an external viewer...

Sorry for waiting, i release 3.8.3 when i finish it, and problem in idiotic NT function NtCreateUserProcess which is not documented and realized like idiot creating this func, does not support Image Hijack (which i need myself calling LdrOpenImageFileOptionsKey/LdrQueryImageFileKeyOption, not idiotic?) and some other problems (like i need to close file and section which you open/create every time), thanks @microsoft.
