Ah. That isn't fully wrong, but it is somewhat misleading. I think it's meant
to imply that the log files aren't useful with the sql back ends (because the
changes are committed to the db immediately), but I couldn't tell you for sure,
as I didn't write that section. It looks as if the note might only apply to
some of the bullets-- but which ones? I don't know...
(BTW, a chapter number would have helped locate the passage).

See above, I didn't say "completely wrong", I was much more polite! :-)
It's in the Help section about "Setting Preferences", in the "General"
section at "Files" it says:-
Files
The following options are only relevant for files saved in XML format.
I suppose you could argue that being able to turn logging on and off
applies only to "files saved in XML format" and that thus you can't
turn logging on and off or set the age when using sqlite, but I don't
think that's really the intention of what it says.
