Don't ever have a LoadGame, which some software wanting to read them will rely on.
Will start at midnight on the given day, thus possibly in the middle of a session.
Thus it is imperative that it be clear that a file was sourced from the CAPI, via JL or other means.
Proposal: Change the filename template to CAPIJournal.YYMMDD00000000.01.log
This way any software looking for, in regex terms ^Journal(Alpha|Beta)?\.[0-9]{12}\.[0-9]{2}\.log$, won't trigger (and possibly error, or at least get confused) on them. In particular EDMC follows the latest file started in the journal directory, so long as it matches that regex. Having a new such file in the middle of an on-going game session will definitely confuse it.
