Hi Josef,

yes, that's the bug. And it's fixed already.
We're going to release 4.5.1 in (about) one week.

Regards,
Alex

[screen-devel] Ignoring logfile from .screenrc

[Josef Ridky]

Hi folks,

I have question about $SUBJ. I am not sure, if is it bug, or just PEBCAK.

version of screen: 4.5.0

If I try to do this:

1.echo 'logfile ~/screenlog.%n' > ~/.screenrc
2.screen -L
3.look for log file in home directory

Actual results:
log file is missing

When I use 

screen -L screenlog.%n (but before I have to remove logfile line from .screenrc 
file)

it will create 2 files: 
  screenlog.%n which is empty (created by checking procedure) and file 
screenlog.0 with log.

So question is, is value for logfile from .screenrc file ignored right now?
