Log File -Using differnet name, can Gui display it?

I edited the log name for my jobs. IE instead of xsibackup.log I used xsibackup_001.log. When i try to watch the logs using gui it doesnt show any results. I figured this is due to having a different log name and the xsibackup.log not having content written to it. Would it be possible for the Gui to compare if the log path is standard or changed then display the change log file if it detects one being used?

Not a big deal, if it bugs me, i just revert back to using the standard log file.
This is for Xsi pro v11.0.3

We really don't know what else to add. If you change something, do it all the way, if you miss something, things might not work.
XSIBackup already rotates logs, you have the rotate_log_size general variable in the conf/xsiopts file.
