Logs
MZAP writes a rolling log file under %APPDATA%\MZAP\logs. Use Settings → Logging → Open Log Files Folder to open it.
Log File Rotation
Section titled “Log File Rotation”When the active log file reaches the Max Log File Size configured in Logging Settings, MZAP rotates it to a numbered suffix and continues writing into a fresh file. Older files end with -1.log, -2.log, and so on. The retention cap is re-applied on each rotation, so the directory will not grow unbounded — older numbered files are deleted when the cap is exceeded.
Logging continues across rotations; there is no need to restart MZAP to keep recording once the size limit is reached.
Folder Watcher Verbosity
Section titled “Folder Watcher Verbosity”The folder watcher that picks up library changes is quiet by default:
- Raw
FileSystemWatcherevents for non-audio files (.DS_Store,desktop.ini,.tmp, Google Drive / OneDrive sync touches, and similar) are no longer logged. - Per-file enqueue and scan traces are emitted at
Debuglevel.
If you need to diagnose a library scan that isn’t picking up the files you expect, switch the Log Level in Logging Settings to Debug, restart MZAP, reproduce the scan, and then attach the resulting log file to your support request.
