Crash reports destination
varholak-peter opened this issue · comments
The crash report logs are currently dumped into the home directory, however that creates quite a clutter.
Ideally they'd be put in a place where they make logical sense without the need to use the User directory directly.
My proposals would be one of:
/home/.vls/logs
or/home/.vls/crash_reports
/var/log/vls
- this is a pretty idiomatic place to store logs
I don't have much Windows experience but I believe putting logs in local app data folder seems reasonable. This comes with one drawback which is the fact that app data folder is not very user accessible, but I think that tools such as v doctor
could help with that by pretty printing reports.
Thanks for the concern 😃 it is indeed a clutter and putting it into a folder would make more sense. As for the location your proposal of <home dir>/.vls/crash_reports
makes much more sense since It would be very easy to find compared to the alternatives. We'll do this today.
