BUSMASTER seems to have a hard coded log file size limit of approx. 10 MB. Exceeding this size it simply creates a new file. This feature is no documeted (or I did not find it) and makes it hard to distinguish which data belongs to which log session.
Example:
- user logs a CAN trace of over all 11 MB --> BUSMASTER creates 2 files named .log and _1.log
- in the next session the user creates in overwrite mode a new log with the same base name. It is now unclear if the second file belongs to the current session, because of course only the first file is overwritten.
- even worse it is in append mode. BUSMASTER will continue logging in a new session in the first file until the size of 20 MB.

The expectation is to remove this hard coded limit of 10 MB. Sota tools and PCs can handle easily 50 MB and more. If this limit shall be persistet, then only configurable and per default switched off.
