Plog not initializing with too long of a file name?

[Icyfiremario]

I am trying to use the date and time for the log file name but for some reason, the logger doesn't initialize or cut off the file extension and won't write to the file.

Here is a screenshot of my code. I am using C++17 with Vulkan.

Here is the final string from the debugger

@Icyfiremario Oh, on Windows a file path can't contain :, so .\logs\02_09_2024_10:19:18.log is invalid. Replace : with _ and you'll be fine.

Oh, I did not know that, Thanks!
