OMEdit log files are always put in system default temp directory

[Francesco Casella]

I changed the working directory of OMEdit long time ago to a place of my choice, rather than in a dumb hidden directory on my system partition that just keeps growing and growing without bounds (shame on MS).

Unfortunately, all log files such as omedicommands are still placed in the appdata directory, which I always have trouble at finding, because it's not written anywhere in the documentation where that is.

I would suggest to either move the log files to the working directory, or to put some pointer somewhere to the settings directory, otherwise as soon as you change the working directory you lose the ability of report info about crashes.

This is somewhat related to ticket #5851.

I recommend that we keep the log files in temp directory and some pointer as you suggested. Sometime ago we added Tools->Open Working Directory menu item, we could also add another menu item Open Logs Directory or Open TEMP Directory.

Sounds good to me :)

Fixed in 15a23ed/OpenModelica.

If you want I can port it to 1.16

That would be nice, thanks!
