[jira] [Created] (LOG4NET-598) RollingFileAppender.DatePattern affects file extension

Dylan Nicholson created LOG4NET-598:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: RollingFileAppender.DatePattern affects file extension
                 Key: LOG4NET-598
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-598
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Dylan Nicholson


The way DatePattern is implemented means it is always appended to the end of the standard Filename when rolling over, but that means you end up with a file that isn't .log (unless you add yet another .log to the end of the DatePattern), and so won't open easily for viewing on many O/S's (esp. MacOS).

I'd expect to be able to say that I want the static file to be called, e.g.,  "Logs/current.log" but each rolled over file to follow the pattern "Logs/archived-\{yyyy-mm-dd}.log"
