When does GnuCash create .log files?

[David Carlson]

Google blocked this email so I amtrying again.

I cannot find any better description in the help files than what you
mentioned Buddha.

However, in Windows  GuCash makes a full save on that schedule instead of
making a .log file.  The result is that there is usually pnly one log file
and sometimes none if I do an early save.

I believe, perhaps incorrectly, that the .log files are updated when a
change is made, and are dated based on the last (auto)save. So the most
recent log file will have an entry for each transaction since the last save.

I didn't say that correctly.  I meant that I thought that GnuCash created
.log files periodically when the auto-save interval has passed since the
next edit after the last save or auto-save.  Then they would be useful if
it had been a while since the last full save.

With the current behavior (release 2.6.15 in Windows 7) the frequent full
saves seem superfluous to me.
