Err well that is what happens already, I didn't mean it over-rode those settings but that it used them.
If you accept for instance "status.log", then the logfile will be 'SomeNet\status.20040303.log' if network and dating is turned on, 'status.20040303.log' if only dating is on, 'SomeNet\status.log' if only network is on, or 'status.log' if neither are on.
