This new feature enhances file management, making it easier to upload and read multiple files at once.

This feature allows to easily upload a series of files in FIXEye 4.6. by replacing a part of the filename with '*'.
  2. File Viewing: Once a part of the filename is replaced with *, all corresponding files will appear in the main window, and logs can be read from these files.
