Tom, Stan, The log files are not just error logging files but a means of reconstructing the current file just before a failure from the last backup file before failure and the log files between them. Agreed it would be nice to have a subfolder of the folder with the main GnuCash data file in it

IIRC /tmp is wiped clean on every reboot. At least on some versions of some OS(s). So not a good place for log files. A subdirectory of the directory in which the main file resides should be fine. > On Apr 26, 2020, at 3:33 PM, Stan Brown wrote: > > > On 2020-04-26 07:46, Maf. King wrote:

The .log files are more like historical data snapshots than application info. Having them all in a subfolder would be nice with less clutter. I wouldn’t say they belong in a system temp folder. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any app put its lock files in a separate location from the file being

I see by the response(s) that it's not as simple as a setting. However, there's no reason you couldn't do a move of the file(s) with some sort of script. Depends on the operating system you're working under. For example, if you're running on Windows, you could add a command or two to the shortcut
