Hi John,
'-log [my file path]' is command line argument that can be added when
launching the Maya executable. When enabled it creates a log file for
Maya's stdout and stderr. As it is a command line argument it has
nothing at all to do with your .env file.
Example (for windows):
maya.exe -log c:\debug.log
There are a couple of other debug options that can be added to
your .env file.
MAYA_DEBUG_ENABLE_CRASH_REPORTING is an environmental variable that
when set to 1 will cause Maya to try dumping debug files to your %temp
% directory. It dumps stack traces and other things that maybe helpful
for debugging plugin crashes. As far as I know you can not change the
path that these files get written to.
MAYA_CMD_FILE_OUTPUT is also an environmental variable. When set to
the path of a log file it will output everything from the script
editor window into the log.
Also the logs can have any file name and extension you want, it makes
no difference to Maya.
Hope this was helpful,
Keir

how to set this up properly.
i have
MAYA_DEBUG_ENABLE_CRASH_REPORTING 1
but your supposed to have a -log [my file path] in your .env file
i have tried many thing but its not working
so
"""
MAYA_DEBUG_ENABLE_CRASH_REPORTING 1
-log [/home/user/Desktop/log]
"""
or is it?
-log '/home/user/Desktop/log'
or /home/user/Desktop/log
and do i need to specify a file eg .txt?
i have found much info for this
any help would be great
anyway just an example of how this should be set in your .env file would
be great.
