That should be possible. Its the setting I use on most of my applications. Is it not working?

The 1.2 SDK reference states that the logger and type conversation patterns of the pattern layout accept a precision modifier. Is it possible to specify a precision that will _remove_ the n left most components? E.g. if logger is "foo.bar.baz" "%logger{-1}" would result in "bar.baz". We typically use one appender per module namespace so that everything from the "company.product.module.*" namespace gets logged into "product_module.log". Therefore we only need the rest of the namespace (which can be arbitrarily deep) in the logfile itself. TIA, Robert
