Google blocked this email so I amtrying again. I cannot find any better description in the help files than what you mentioned Buddha.
However, in Windows GuCash makes a full save on that schedule instead of making a .log file. The result is that there is usually pnly one log file and sometimes none if I do an early save.

I believe, perhaps incorrectly, that the .log files are updated when a change is made, and are dated based on the last (auto)save. So the most recent log file will have an entry for each transaction since the last save.

I meant that I thought that GnuCash created .log files periodically when the auto-save interval has passed since the next edit after the last save or auto-save. Then they would be useful if it had been a while since the last full save. With the current behavior (release 2.6.15 in Windows 7) the frequent full saves seem superfluous to me.
