Maybe there could be a standard log file path for each platform which
could be
the default for logfile=''. Logging to stderr could be selected with
logfile=stderr.
The way you suggest, there would still be the possibility of specifying
different log locations for every configuration, but now there is also
the added confusion of a "stderr" switch. I think it would be less
confusing to implement the option as you first suggested, where std
output is the default and the logfile= option is used only to define a
log path to override stderr. Maybe a default log file location would be
useful if the option is found in a configuration but the path is blank
e.g. "logfile=".
Logfile-path in configuration file? Please, no, it will only result in
huge confusion and bug reports with incorrect log files... and imho
logging is only meant for debugging.
In worst case there can 3+ log files here and there from single UAE
session..
1: before default config file is loaded
2: after default.uae is loaded
3: after user-selected configuration is selected
4+: if user selects another configuration on the fly.
