[jira] [Commented] (LOGCXX-525) Compressing log files does not create directories

["Robert Middleton (Jira)" <lo...@logging.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-525?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17476692#comment-17476692 ] 

Robert Middleton commented on LOGCXX-525:
-----------------------------------------

Upon further investigation, this appears to be a feature.  I'm not quite sure why this is the intended behavior, but there is a test for it.

Solution: make it configurable to let the user select if they want to create the intermediate directories or not.

> When configuring the FixedWindowRollingPolicy, setting the FileNamePattern to something that doesn't exist(e.g. "output/foo-%i.gz") doesn't create this directory if it does not exist.  It also does not output any error, so it silently ignores it.
