12402,knowing the current filename used by a boost.log text_file_backend,Philip Miller <philip.miller@…>,Andrey Semashev,"I am trying to use the Boost.Log library and am quite pleased with it so far. (I am transitioning from log4cxx.) Before getting into the details, let me say why I am asking this question. 

1. I need to populate a status line to tell an administrator the path to the current output log file.
2. On shutdown (and at any point really), I need to provide a summary that points a user to the path of the last output log file. 

As far as I can tell I am unable to meet either of these requirements with the 1.60 implementation of the Boost.Log ``text_file_backend``. Regarding the first requirement the ``text_file_backend`` provides open and close handler methods, but those use a stream argument and they are intended to be used to write header and footer text to the output stream when a file is opened or closed. But I need to know the *filename* of the stream that is opened.

Regarding 2, the file_collector ``store_file`` method takes a source path. But I need to know the destination path not the source path. I do not see anything that exposes the final destination where the collector has stored my files. 

As a user of Boost.Log 1.60 is there a way to meet either of these requirements through the current API?  If not, any suggestions on the best way to proceed? ",Feature Requests,closed,To Be Determined,log,Boost 1.60.0,Problem,fixed,text_file_backend,
