Also note the difference in version numbers, 0.69.1.0 vs v0.69.1 (lacking v and adding a trailing .0)

Case of "log" in filename is also inconsistent, which was only a problem when I was crafting a .gitignore for my config tracking.

We're using different systems for logging. But with the last update v0.69 we unified some of them. But the old log files ares still under the old paths

Right, sorry about that, noticed the older version number on some of them. Sorry for not being more helpful, (insert poor excuse here about not getting VS working properly)

looks like there's CDO work available
