>From my experience I'd recommend you go the long route and actually implement the date/time comparison(*). For one: problems have the bad habit of forcing you to restart the application multiple times, so you'll lose at least the first instance of the problem. For another: if your user starts multiple instances of the same application you'll lose logs of instances that are still running. (*) date is usually enough for the comparison; you don't even have to parse the file names, just look at the time of the last file change (QFileInfo) Konrad _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
