Log2file - Store log files in user specific folder #4596
Description
Hello,
I am the feature log2file in platformio. This is a very useful feature which I do use a lot.
-
Feature Request.
-
The problem I am facing is that the number of log files pile up in my project's root folder.
Often there are too many and I have to move the log files to another folder. -
My request is that there is another variable in platformio.ini which allows me to specify the folder (within the project folder) in which the logs files are stored.
For example:Platformio.ini: monitor_filters = default, time, log2file ; monitor_log_dir = logs; (new / not exisiting at this moment) So the new variable "monitor_log_dir = logs" would place the logs in C:\Users\username\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\project_root\logs\ -
If the folder does not exist it should be created.
Hope this is clear and feedback is welcome. Also discussed this topic here
