Log file in archive created by RollingFileAppender does not have an extension ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LBCORE-165 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-165 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Bug Components: Appender, Rolling Affects Versions: 0.9.24 Environment: Windows XP Reporter: Stijn Van Bael Assignee: Logback dev list Priority: Minor When creating a rolling file appender (see configuration below), the log file within the zipped archive has no extension. This is quite annoying on a Windows system since Windows has no clue how to open a file without extension. You have to rename the file and add the correct extension or choose the program to open over and over again. Suggested fix: make the file in the archive inherit the extension from the original log file. So for an archive named "log-2010-08-11.zip", the log file within the archive would become "log-2010-08-11.txt", since the original log file was "log.txt". <appender name="ROLLING" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <file>log.txt</file> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <fileNamePattern>log-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.zip</fileNamePattern> <maxHistory>60</maxHistory> </rollingPolicy> <encoder> <pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
