Hi folks,

Is there some way to disable the automatic cleanup/deletion of log files for PHD2?

There doesn't appear to be an option for it under advanced settings. Wondering if there is a launch flag that can be used to prevent this. I keep forgetting to backup my logs before they get automatically deleted after 30 (DebugLog) and 60 (GuideLog) days.

Alternative is to write an automation task that moves them out of the specified save directory after logging in to prevent this from happening.

Thanks in advance,

Nikko

There's no way to disable this.  You really should just copy them to a different folder or rename them - the automation script is probably your best solution.
