.. how does this work?

Does it only create a log file for the duration of the running project, then delete itself? Or does it name itself with a temporary name somewhere for each run (if this is the case, can we define the name/path and how do we view these logs after the fact)?

Thanks, TJ

It creates a temporary file in the users temp folder… and deletes it at the end of the run. This option is there for people who didn’t want a permanent log, but still needed to export the log during the run (using the Export Log Action).
