Just some naming consistency stuff.

 

DCS crash reporter creates a report called dcs.log-?????-?????.zip which contains several files, logs, memory dumps, the track, dxdiag log, and other helpful stuff.

 

That's been confusing me since the beginning, because it's so similar to dcs.log file which is just the main dcs log and nothing else as we know.

 

An example of a more appropriate looking naming choice is:

dcs-crash-report_?????-?????.zip

 

A more proper looking naming also makes it more "official" looking, generated by the crash reporter, the current naming looks like as if someone zipped the dcs.log file manually and used a default name in WinRAR/7Zip.

It should help with faster distinguishing of manually zipped package files that contain similar or not reallyanywhere near the full scope.

 

Yes it sounds like a nitpick for someone who reports just a few times, but I'm also talking about the staff who has to deal with hundreds of bug reports and log file... err log reports ... I mean crash reports I suspect.
