hmm...I think I start logging using very early mIRC and the path in mirc.ini was:
[logging]
#channel=#channel.log
When upgrading mIRC it would not be changed.
5.81 or later the path is set as:
[logging]
#channel=logs\#channel.log
And it still supports "#channel=#channel.log" until 6.2, and it will be affected by changing the default log saving folder. "logs\#channel.log" will not be affected by the default folder.
And it is the answer of solving this problem. :tongue:
Try these steps to reproduce this issue.
1. Install a clean mIRC 5.71 (Yes, 5.71)
2. Fill in the necessary information
3. Connect to a server
4. Join a channel
5. Choose system menu of the channel (top left hand corner of a window, OR right click the channel button)
6. Then go to Logging, and it will ask you which destination to save the file
7. find a location to save it (e.g.: mirc folder\logs)
8. The channel will appear * Logging #channel to '#channel.log'
9. Quit and close mIRC
10. Replace mIRC to 6.21
11. Execute the mIRC 6.21 and connect again
12. Join the same channel
13. Then check the log
Or using 6.2:
1. Install a clean mIRC 6.2
2. Fill in the necessary information
3. Connect to a server
4. Join a channel
5. Choose system menu of the channel (top left hand corner of a window, OR right click the channel button)
6. Then go to Logging->, and it will ask you which destination to save the file
7. find a location to save it (e.g.: mirc folder\logs)
8. The channel will appear * Logging #channel to 'logs\#channel.log'
9. Quit and close mIRC
10. open mirc.ini and find [logging]
11. modify "#channel=logs\#channel.log" to "#channel=#channel.log" (acting as what 5.71 does)
12. Replace mIRC to 6.21
13. Execute the mIRC 6.21 and connect again
14. Join the same channel
15. Then check the log
I hope that it makes much clear about the issue.
