Rob Ross commented on LBCORE-42:
--------------------------------

I agree with the above. I just started using logback as a replacement for log4j, and this is the first big difference in  behavior that I have found. Please implement this functionality in logback. Thanks!

> FileAppender should be able to automatically create parent directories as needed when writing the log file.
> For instance, if configured with <File>/var/tmp/project_name/some_file.log</File>, and the new option set to true (suggest <CreateParentDirectories>true</CreateParentDirectories> maybe), then in FileAppender.setFile(), it should do
> new File( fileName ).getParentFile().mkdirs()
> workaround is to create the directory before initializing logback. Possible but far less than ideal, and rather complicated too
