How to get time-stamped log filenames in output file directory

[joryte42]

Ideally, I'd like for each rip to produce a log in the same folder that the media files go and ideally named something like "freac__.log". It seems like this is a supported feature according to the General Settings -> Extensions -> Logging and per "https://freac.org/manual/en/howto.html", but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Here is my configuration.

General Settings:

Active configuration: "Music"

Fre:ac -> Output Files:

Output folder: "N:\Music\Music"
Output filenames Filename pattern: "<album><track> <title>"

Extensions -> Logging:

"Save conversion logs with audio files": checked
Filename pattern: <album>\freac__

Intuitively, I would expect checking "Save conversion logs with audio files" and setting the filename pattern to "freac" to automatically dump the "freac.log" in the same directory as the output files, but it does not. It places it in the "Output folder" (without the albumartist and album subdirectories).

If I use the filename pattern "<album>\freac", I get logs where I want them, but I have to manually match the directory structure in both the filename pattern field and the output filenames filename pattern fields for every configuration. If I run the tool again (because a rip was not AccurateRip verified), my log file ("freac.log") gets overwritten.

If I use the filename pattern "<album>\freac_", I get logs in the correct directory but they are named "freac(currentdate)_(currenttime).log". The fields do not get populated, it just replaces the angled brackets with parenthesis and appends it literally.

Is there a way to get the filename appended with the timestamp?
Is there a way to get the log put side-by-side with the files without having to make sure I manually manage both fields for every configuration every time I change the output directory?
