Description

I think that the Log functionality which appears in the "Telemetry Logs" and "DataFlash Logs" tabs doesn't have much to do with the Flight Data screen that it appears on. The overlap comes only when it comes to playing back the tlogs.

I think it would be best to create a new menu item on the top just for Log Analysis.

Research direction

Start by locating the Mission Planner menu definitions and the Flight Data screen entries for Telemetry Logs and DataFlash Logs. Review how playback of telemetry logs currently overlaps with Flight Data, then determine the scope of a separate top-level Log Analysis menu item. Done means both log functions are accessible from the new menu without their former Flight Data placement, with playback still working.
