Change logname and default dir_location (if possible)

[clecthiago]

Hi,
It would be possible to standardize the creation of names for log files?

In my file browser I can sort the view and still using Search (usually Ctrl+F) I search by date and no worries, but I find this a little more difficult.

It doesn't matter but I'm using the "Sublime Text Editor" on my Ubuntu to view the files.
I usually open the entire 'Downloads' directory (currently the default location for logs), and navigate to the file.

Regardless of the Editor/Viewer I use, I believe it would be better if the log was named following the template: logname_YEAR_MONTH_DAY_TIME.csv.
That way, my orderby in the directory by name, or by modification date, writing date, etc., would not affect the view.

After Jun/24, starts Jul/24

After Jul/24 (current date), starts Jul/25 (30days ago)

In short, my idea is change the Logname to whatsapp-monitor_YEAR_MONTH_DAY_TIME.csv, this way, the ordering in the file browser will be better and there won't be the problem of mes crossing the other as in the screenshots.

Thanks for any changes

@rizwansoaib, for me this "file_name" would be great !!

I'll apreciate it.

Thanks a lot for that

Remembering, when possible, give us the oportunity to change the default log_name prefix too, please.
because, when my kids looking for whatsapp on my computer search bar, they maybe will find those files ...
