Property Value

Type:

Boolean
true if the file name extension should be preserved.

Remarks

By default file.log is rolled to file.log.yyyy-MM-dd or file.log.curSizeRollBackup. However, under Windows the new file name will loose any program associations as the extension is changed. Optionally file.log can be renamed to file.yyyy-MM-dd.log or file.curSizeRollBackup.log to maintain any program associations.
