Stereo Tool :: MicroMPX logging behavior is weird

I just installed MicroMPX on a Linux computer and normally applications log to something like /var/log/micrompx. However MicroMPX seems to log to the users home directory and write a new log file every time it's started.

There seems to be no command line start options to specify a logging directory or configuration file at all. Which is weird for a Linux application, but it's fine I guess. However the logging behavior is documented nowhere. Can anyone tell me if it rotates it's own logs and deletes old logs after some time, or do I need to set up log rotate and deletion rules for it?

Hi, Yes, it removes old log files, it has an internal parameter (LogRotationMaxTotalSizeMegaBytes, it's currently not accessible) that's set to 4 GB. When it exceeds that, old log files are removed. We originally had it set to /var/log, but on some systems that directory wasn't writable.
