Summary
This new option allows declaring a target directory for log files.
The default value is pulled from the
--directory
option.IMPORTANT
This is a breaking change.
Old default behavior
gcexpert.log
is stored in the current application directoryNew default behavior
gcepxport.log
is stored in the target directory of--directory
, so the default is./YYYY-MM-DD_garmin_connect_export
Motivation
By default, the application stores the exported activities in daily directories such as
YYYY-MM-DD_garmin_connect_export
.By storing daily log files in the same directory as the activities, the user would have the full package of all files created by the app.
It is also worth noting that many operating systems have dedicated log folders, e.g.
/var/log/
etc. This option allows for storing logs in such locations.Background
Initial commit 7ab7125 by @cristian5th was cherry-picked from PR #66 where you can also find more discussion about this option.
