I would not mind if it was implemented, but I would prefer to have a 
warning that needs to be confirmed. Otherwise information in the log 
file might be lost/deleted by this automatism.

I can not imagine a situation under normal circumstances where 
truncating the log file like this would be required in a way that it 
can't be done easily in a text editor manually anyway.
But maybe someone with more experience on relevant cases can contribute 
their opinion on this topic?

Kind Regards
