I think this was for r2mm which is kinda meh anyway. It's not that difficult for a mod-manager to determine the newest version so honestly I wouldn't duplicate write to latest.log.

Old thread, but having some named file which is always guaranteed to be the latest log file is nice for end users in some cases

The only reason for latest.log was r2mm which we kinda stopped recommending anyway. Keeping latest.log update is a bit annoying. Simplest solution would be two log sinks, one being timestamped txt and the other latest.log with both set to always just overwrite if exists.

Not sure what the perf overhead is for writing twice...
