Wow. that was incredibly simple. I'm looking into where/if I can add this into the margin of tw5.
Since the save location is synced by Dropbox, if I keep writing logs to this file then Dropbox keeps syncing, which writes more logs.... So I created a symlink to the actual file. The other way to do it would be to tell the Dropbox service to exclude that log, but the symlink is cleaner.
