Not sure if this helps, but I'm also using the SQLite backend and while
I do have some log files, they are few in number. I don't usually pay
much attention to that directory as it is somewhat buried in my tree and
don't otherwise need it. (GnuCash opens the last used file, and I can't
even double-click to open since I'm on MacOS)
I rarely shut down GnuCash and usually leave it open 24/7 save for
updates to either it, or MacOS. Other than shutdowns, perhaps eventually
it writes a log after so many transactions. I use it daily, and see 19
log files of varying sizes between 10/6/20 and 1/15/21. (with nothing
since then)
Regards,
Adrien

Although I don't use the sqlite back end, I can answer that:
1) yes log files happen with the db back ends
2) no you can't change the log file directory (this is a long long looooong
standing request)
3) not sure, but probably you could

Subject: [GNC] Log file preferences (using sqlite)
I run gnucash on Linux with a sqlite3 database.
Although the Help says the log file preferences only apply when using
XML I still get log files saved every time I quit gnucash. So, a
couple of questions:-
Should this happen (log files with sqlite)?
Can I get the log files stored somewhere else to avoid cluttering
the directory where I keep my accounts?
Are the log files any use with sqlite or should I simply turn them
off completely in preferences?
