ZipFile Storage Preference

Control your zip files storage preference.  By default, IISLogs creates a zip file on a daily basis.  Introduced in IISLogs 4.0, there are options to zip files on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.  This can reduce the number of zip files created on disk.   You can use IISLogs classic options to apply the same rules to all folders.   The SpecificDirectories and Advanced Dir Config options are classic IISLogs options.  The Per Directory (introduced in IISLogs 2.0) option allows for the same Zip options (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).  Using the PerDirectory option, you can apply separate rules on a per directory basis.
