Ok, since the upgrade to 6.21 mIRC started writing log files in a very weird way. Example:

Saavik256.IRCnet.log
Saavik256.IRCnet.1.log

Considering I prefer having all my logs in a single file for a specified nick, instead of divided into several files, is there an option to turn it off or something of the sort? I didn't find anything in the Logging options :s

In the whatsnew file for 6.21, it explains this. The .1 file is a temporary file. This will be merged with the real log file when you're done.

I see.. Guess I'll have to modify my script to accomodate for this (in my opinion unnecessary) change. Thank you.

It was set that way due to numerous complaints about corrupted log files.

I don't know the specifics because I never had an issue. I think it was something to do with crashing. Of course, I've crashed mIRC often enough and never had a corrupted log file... wink

You can switch back to 6.20. At this time, you cannot turn it off. I, and others, hope that it will be optional in a future release.
