            Bug ID: 509109
           Summary: KSTARS on OSX M2 - No log files to be found on system
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kstars
      Version First 3.7.8
       Reported In:
          Platform: macOS (DMG)
                OS: macOS
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: mutlaqja at ikarustech.com
          Reporter: pebe.espana at posteo.eu
  Target Milestone: ---

Installed KStars from dmg a few days ago - version 3.7.8
Using MacBook Pro M2

SUMMARY
Overall, software seems to run ok at first sight, in fact very impressive -
CONGRATULATIONS !
Used now EKOS to access Oregon camera VeLOX715C - with some success in saving
sequence images.
However had some crashes (possibly asking too much at once, not waiting long
enough?) and strange behaviors (possibly user error?) so wanted to access log
files.
Used the EKOS profile page - Logs button to extend type of info to be logged
Result: Can't find any log files written anywhere on OSX

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  restarted stars several times
2. chose different log information content
3. used "Open Logs Directory..." on Logging tab - NOTHING HAPPENS !?!????

OBSERVED RESULT
1. "Open Logs Directory" does not result in anything
2. Using File search (FAF) to locate any new files on system does reveal many
files related to KStars, but no files that are of log file nature 
3. no folders with names such as 'kstars_logs' or
4. no files with 'log 'in file name
5. image files can be written so access permission to file system seems to be
in place

EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: OSX Sequoia 15.6.1 (24G90)
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Apologies if this is not a bug, but a case of RTFM - can't find it there either
though .... 
Any hints on user community explaining use of Kstars 'for dummies' would also
be appreciated.
