Just noticed that the floccus.log:

  • is getting bigger and bigger
  • always has the same name when saving.

Well, perhaps I just haven't used Floccus long enough to see the log recycled or limited in size... In this case please disregard this part, naturally.

I also suggest appending a browser name and a timestamp to the filename when saving the log trough the UI.

I tested Floccus in several different browsers on the same machine and this would have simplified it.

Eventually, turning the log off by default and having an on/off switch would probably be a good idea.

Hey! Thanks for your feedback! :)

Perhaps I'll have to reduce the rotation size. Chrome simply stops allowing writes at some point, so I'd like to avoid that, of course.

That's a good idea! :)

mmh. I'd rather have the log always available in case something unexpected happens. It doesn't hit performance too hard, I think.
