Query: Automagic log file

[1tamad]

I enabled the "Write log to file" option. My question would be: what are the log files generated? I checked the folder /storage/emulated/0/Automagic and I noticed to files namely:
a. log_mail.txt
b. log.txt
Does it generate 2 log files? What is the difference of both?

Thanks

Hi,

The option Write log to file generates the file log.txt which can grow to about 500kb in size. Automagic copies the log.txt to log_old.txt and begins to log into log.txt again when the 500kb limit is reached.
log_mail.txt is created when menu->Send log is used. It's a way to create a mail attachment with the contents of the regular smaller log that works properly in all versions of Android and all mail apps.

Thanks alot for that clarification.

Followup question, is it possible for me to increase the log file size capacity? Thanks

No, that's currently not possible. Maybe you can create a flow that renames the log_old.txt to log_<timestamp>.txt and keep it for a longer time.
