In this way, the directory only > needs to be changed in one place. > Today the typical solution is to use a PatternString with a property that is > set in code before log4net is configured, e.g. > <file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" > value="%property{LogDIr}MyFile.log"/> > Suggested feature is to allow a conversion pattern that reads the base > directory name from an appSetting, e.g.: > <file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" > value="%appSetting{LogDIr}MyFile.log"/> -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
