Too many log files

[Rob Richardson]

Log4net is ignoring the maximum number of files for my rolling file
appender:

 

  <appender name="RollingFile"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

    <file value="HeatingModelScheduler.log" />

    <appendToFile value="true" />

    <param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="5" />

    <param name="DatePattern" value=".yyyy-MM-dd.lo\g" />

    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

      <conversionPattern value="%date - %message%newline" />

    </layout>

  </appender>

 

Why do I now have six old log files?

 

Thank you very much.
