True enough, and a couple of people have suggested how to find a file. But word processors typically DON'T put dozens of log files in the same directory or folder as the actual document. Because Gnucash does, when someone naively saves a Gnucash data file to her desktop, it's almost immediately cluttered with log files. The same was true when I naively saved my first GnuCash file to the same folder as my financial spreadsheets -- relatively quickly they were buried under a blizzard of log files. (Granted, I'm exaggerating a bit, for effect.) I understand the usefulness of the log files, but why aren't they written to the temp folder? Or better yet, why aren't they written to a user-specified location, with the temp folder as default? -- Stan Brown the_stan_br...@fastmail.fm https://BrownMath.com http://OakRoadSystems.com/ _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
