RE: Feature request: Log file naming
No, the radical change would be that the average user, suddenly, without any warning, see his directory full of subdirectories with different formats (old and new), aka a big mess.

You said it would be simple to change it; just change the default registry option. Hence I replied that this can not be done just-like-that and should be done with a decent designed GUI accompanying the new method and maybe even with a wizard-like auto-converter to 'attempt' to change the old directories to the new ones.

If not, many people will complain and maybe even report it as a bug.

Again, it is NOT as easy as simply changing the default registry setting, like you might think.

Such a change is severe and that is not how a user-friendly program should behave, at all. Especially not a program which is mostly used by people who are not computer-savy users like us.

In short: if you want it, change it (you most likely already did). For this to be added as a standard in Plus!, additional changes need to be done (eg: redesign logging option panel) and that means it wont be done for the next version, nor will it be done without any thought I can imagine.

-------------

EDIT: You don't seem to get my point though....

I'm not saying that using the ISO standard is bad, I'm saying that you are wrong into thinking that the current system is not user friendly and wrong into thinking it is a very easy to implement and only requires a default reg setting to be changed.
