Обсуждение: Bug report / feature enhancement

I am using pgAdmin 1.10.0, however neither the version nor the O/S relevant. Up until, and including the current version, pgAdmin expects the format for the postgresql log_filename to be 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log'. However, most companies I have worked for use the format 'postgresql-%d.log'  or 'postgresql-%a.log', which causes pgAdmin to not be able to locate the file. How hard would it be to add an option, in the General tab, which specifies the format for the log_filename, thus making it more flexible?

I don't think it should be that hard. And this is something I would like
to have too. Need some time to work on it, though :/ Won't be on next
release unless someone else works on this.

I don't think General tab of pgAdmin Options window is the right place for this. As the log file name formating rules are defined for every postgresql server the format for the log_filename should be assigned to server properties.

It can be read automatically from the server, no need to store it
anywhere. That's not the hard part though...
