Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the Log Collector tool created its archive in the base folder, which meant that it also archived the permissions of the current working directory ('.'). Consequently, extracting the Log Collector archive changed the permissions of the directory in which the archive was extracted, resulting in unintended side effects on the system. Now, the structure has been changed to introduce a top level directory, and users can extract the archive without altering the directory permissions. Because extracting the archive now creates a directory with all files under it, users can, for example, extract two different Log Collector archives in the same directory, without those archives overlapping.

We just added a top level directory named as the archive name without extension, everything is under that in the same hierarchy used in the past.

The archive name is pretty unique including a time-stamp so now you can extract two archive without collision issue and without changing the permission of the directory you are extracting in.
