I did as you requested.  Oddly enough, when I made that change, two
things happened:  First, it ran correctly and used the contents of
GPODDER_HOME to see the configuration on the G: drive.  Second, it
did not generate an output file at the location specified.  I used
the name of an output file in a specific directory, though, rather
than just a name and then having to hunt for it, so maybe that made
the difference.

Anyway, it worked.  Now I'll remove that change and see what
happens....

Weird.  I removed the ">" output capture and restarted the app as
before.  it's still running fine!  What magical mystery did that
cause that made it work properly?  I have no clue!!!

OK, tried running gpodder.exe directly from the command prompt  

In the icon that launches gpodder, can you change the program name to
"whatever-it-currently-is > gpodderoutput.txt", run it and find that
text file.

See the answer below if the program name has "start" in it.

See https://gpodder.github.io/docs/windows.html#debugging-gpodder-on-windows
I think gpodder-cmd.exe should be run instead of gpodder.exe to get the console 
output.

Anyway, great that you have it working!

Thanks,
