Tnx, Bill, for the information.
I already use that link arrangement, but my computer remembers that location
in the User subdirectory. Whenever I then go to upload to LOTW, I have to
move the file selection to the DX4WIN logging directory. I'd like to be
able to tell WSJT-X to use that same DX4WIN directory for saving its ADIF
file.
That's not a big deal, but I'd like the convenience of having everything in
the single subdirectory.

Location of adif log file
I regularly import wsjtx_log.adi into my DX4WIN log. I would like to be
able to select the computer directory into which the wsjt-x adif log file is
to be saved. Perhaps the program could cause the log entries to be saved at
the default location and concurrently at the location I specify.
Hi Mark,
you can do this simply by creating a hard link to the log file in the
directory you wish it to appear. For example on Windows open a CMD prompt
and change the current working directory to the directory where you want the
log file to appear and type:
mklink /H wsjtx_log.adi "%LocalAppData%\WSJT-X\wsjtx_log.adi"
Note that the file created is not a copy of the WSJT-X log file, it is the
same file, so do not delete it's contents if you want them to remain in both
locations. It is safe to delete the file itself but do not delete the file
in the WSJT-X log directory unless you mean it as WSJT-X uses it for worked
before determination.
Also note that several people have said the above command requires
Administrator rights to execute, that is not correct and just a normal CMD
prompt window is fine.
