Multiple LOG files generated in latest BETA Build 4.21.1.108 - How can this be disabled?

I just noticed another new "feature" in the latest BETA Build 4.21.1.108 that generates multiple log.txt files.

How can this be disabled?

I only want one log.txt file.

You've found multiple log files in %appdata%\DAZ 3D\Studio4 Public Build\ ? with sequential suffix or something ?

A given folder may contain only one log.txt file - that is an operating system limit. If you have files in sub-folders, are they perhaps from plug-ins? You could use http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/plugins/plugins_load_config/start to disable all non-Daz plug-ins and see if the isue persists. Or have you had stability issues and these are from compressed crash reports (which will not be created without your asking for them)?

I found the culprit.

The latest update of Windows 11 apparently changed the default settings for Notepad as show in the screen-shot attached.  Just change the settings to "Open in a new window" and "Open a new window."

This coincidentally appeared around the same time the latest DAZ Studio BETA was released.
