Michael,
I purposefully *didn't* say in this email "almost all users have only one set of books";
I said "I believe that many users only keep one set of books," and I very specifically
noted that I do not have statistics regarding the uses to which gnucash is put. Neither do you.
Your use experience and mine are different. Who's to say yours is more valid than mine?
As for the problem itself, I didn't suggest per book log folders precisely
because my use case doesn't need it, but once you raised it, I made a logical
amendment to the suggestion. Is there a problem with that solution? Your tone
suggests that there is.
I will try again ....
There would be no problem with gnucash creating a directory for the log
files in the directory where the data file is. I was saying that IF that
had been what was initially suggested I would have said nothing because
that WOULD work for the general case.
My concerns about "exception cases" is because I did software for a
living. It doesn't matter if it is "many" or "almost all" but whether
are ANY users who would have multiple books. And that is why I switched
it to "almost all", because OK even for almost all is not good enough.
Software that fails for ANY cases is bugged software.
Michael
