Overview Logging
================

Beginning with UniPlot R2013.9 a log file is created for every start of UniPlot
(uniplot.exe) or UniScript (us.exe). The log file is saved in the log directory
in the UniPlot user directory: ``C:\Users\<user>\Documents\UniPlot\log``. 

The log file name is unique to avoid naming problems, for example
``uniplot-18c20906-cb8e-4b03-8fa3-2237870c2bcf.log``. When UniPlot exits the 
log files are moved into a zip file (``uniplot.0.log.zip``).

If the size of the zip file is bigger than 1 MB, the file is renamed from
``uniplot.0.log.zip`` to ``uniplot.1.log.zip`` and a new file 
``uniplot.0.log.zip`` will be created. Therefore ``uniplot.0.log.zip`` always
contains the latest log file. Only the first 5 files are kept 
(``uniplot.0.log.zip`` to ``uniplot.4.log.zip``). Older files will be 
removed.

UniScript log file example:

:: 

   [09/02/13 09:13:50] [uniscript] [info] [] [uniscript starts, version: 5.50.9 Date: Aug 31 2013 (x64)]
   [09/02/13 09:13:51] [ipz_pack] [trace] [D:\UniPlot4.ipz] [Start packing]
   [09/02/13 09:13:51] [ipz_pack] [trace] [D:\UniPlot4.ipz] [End packing]
   [09/02/13 09:13:51] [uniscript] [info] [] [uniscript returned successful]
