What is the retention rate for ImgBurn's Log?

What is the retention rate for ImgBurn's Log?  It appears to be 7 days, but I don't know that for sure.

 

Thanks!

If I recall corectly it´s 5000 lines.

I wouldn't think it's based on a line count.  That would potentially leave an incomplete operation listed at the end of the Log.

Search in forum for "5000" to see more answeres pointing it is limited to 5000 lines.

By default ImgBurn keeps appending to the same log file, only truncating when it gets to 5000 lines long.

 

Clearly that bit you posted isn't 5000 lines long... so where's the rest?!

It's limited to 5000 lines and there's currently no method of changing that.

I limit it to 5000 lines.

Well, it must be 5,000 lines at the max.  And when it reached 5,000, then the entirety of the last dated operation is removed from the Log.  The Log, as far as I've ever seen, never ends with an incomplete Log.  So, if it is capped at 5,000, when the Log exceeds that # of lines, then the oldest entry from a particular start of a Log is removed to free up space since the Log as far as I can tell never ends with a partial operation.

 

Either way, thanks for looking for that info for me!

I don´t know how it´s done, but I think it appends the last operated session on top, then the trimming process starts removing the oldest log entries by session not line by line. So at the end when it reaches the cap limit, the number of lines will vary accordingly with the limit beeing 5000, oldest log being saved from start to finish not somwhere mid session.

That's also my understanding of how it's basically done.
