[logback-dev] [JIRA] Commented: (LBCORE-199) RollingFileAppender with zip & %i doesn't rename active log file before being zipped

Benoit Xhenseval commented on LBCORE-199:
-----------------------------------------

I would suggest that if using the same count inside the ZIP file is too consuming (eg doesn't the file rename happen too often?) then it might be sufficient to add a timestamp on each file being zipped in order to ensure that they are UNIQUE accross the zip files.

Thanks!

> When compression is used for FixedWindowRollingPolicy, with %i in the file name pattern, the log files are not renamed with %i before compression.
> Resulting zip-files are created with appropriate rolled over names (%i). But all the log files inside those zip have a same name.
