old paths from audit file are being created in installation directory

[emcodem]

So the problem is that after moving the whole installation, there are unexpectedly folders created in the new root of my executable (i use nexe to compile/redistribute the project). I was a little surprised that it can create folders actually just because it searches for files mentioned in audit files, shouldnt non existing files just be ignored?

E.g. program was first int \\serverA\share\folder, audit was a subfolder /logs/audit
Move to \\ServerB\share\folder (without deleting the audit files)

After starting the program from the new install dir, strangely we get a sub folder created:
\serverA\share\folder\ServerB\share\folder...

This is about how i set up DailyRotate:

	let dailyFileTransport = new winston.transports.DailyRotateFile({
		level: 'debug',
		filename: path.join( path.dirname(process.execPath), label + "-%DATE%.log"),
		auditFile: path.join( path.dirname(process.execPath),"audit", label),
		datePattern: 'YYYY-MM-DD',
		zippedArchive: true,
		maxSize: '50m',
		maxFiles: '14d'
	  });

I just realize this comes from the sub-module file-stream-rotator which seems to be an abandoned project.
FileStreamRotator.js Line 532 mkDirForFile(logfile);
I guess there are no plans to replace this module or maintain it as part of this project?
