Would it not makes sense to put it in the temp folder so users can easily clean them up? Log files aren't really something we want regular users to have to deal with anyway except as a last resort. Maybe instead of being with each document we could use .../temp/log/ Now that I think about it, aren't we already defeating the normal use of temp files by putting temp in the brlblast application data directory? Temporary files should probably go in, using Windows notation, %temp%\brlblast\.
