I having an issue with logging. Every time when i re-run my program it overwrites log data in file as I need to store previous data as well. I have created if statements when there is file it doesn't create a new one as i thought, but it doesn't solved my problem. Maybe someone knows the issue? Thank you in advance!

print ("File doesn't exist and will be created")

logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

mb.showinfo('confirmation', "Source and destination are same, therefore file will be moved to Home catalog")
newdestination = Path("/home/adminas")
shutil.move(source, newdestination)
logging.shutdown()

# Create the root window

#Set window background color

# Create a File Explorer label
label_file_explorer = Label(window,
text = "File Explorer using Tkinter",
width = 50, height = 4,
fg = "blue")
button_explore = Button(window,
text = "Browse Files",
command = browseFiles)
button_move = Button(window,
text = "Move File",
command = move_file)
button_exit = Button(window,
text = "Exit",
command = exit)
# Grid method is chosen for placing
# the widgets at respective positions
# in a table like structure by
# specifying rows and columns
label_file_explorer.grid(column = 1, row = 1)
button_move.grid(column = 1, row = 2)
button_exit.grid(column = 1,row = 3)
# Let the window wait for any events
logging.shutdown()
window.mainloop()
But in the shell it prints properly, but every time running program over and over again it overwrites as a example new data like this and after re-run it vanishes and being preplaces by new one:
2021-05-02 11:04:15,384, log level: INFO, log content: File was moved to/home/adminas/Documents
Not quite understand your problem. But if you don't want to overwrite log files, change the filemode to 'a' which will append new log to your log files.
