[jira] Commented: (LOG4NET-64) [PATCH] to RollingFileAppender.cs to add the ability to preserve the log file name extension when rolling the log file.

["Ron Grabowski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Ron Grabowski commented on LOG4NET-64:
--------------------------------------

I wasn't able to apply this patch with TSVN (TortoiseSVN 1.3.2, Build 5840). TSVN requires the header to be in this format:

Index: RollingFileAppender.cs
===================================================================
--- RollingFileAppender.cs	(revision 381326)
+++ RollingFileAppender.cs	(working copy)

After downloading the file (with FireFox, IE6, and wget) and correcting the header, I get the following error:

 "An unknown line type was found in line 5 !"

This is line 5:

 			set { m_staticLogFileName = value; }

Maybe Joshua could .zip the patch?

> Normally, when the log file is rolled the file name extension is not preserved.
> For example, file.log is rolled to file.log.1 or file.log.yyyy-MM-dd.
> However, this may not be desired in all cases and it may be necessary to preserve the log file name extension when the log file is rolled. Most notably, this feature is useful for maintaining file associations under Windows so that all log files can be associated with a particaular text viewer.
> For example, file.log is rolled to file.1.log or file.yyyy-MM-dd.log.
> This patch adds an additional boolean property PreserveLogFileNameExtension to the RollingFileAppender class which is used to toggle this behavior.
