Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

Would like to see a button in the app's settings (probably in the "debug" tab) that opens up the log folder.

Reason

Currently, the only way to get to the log folder is by manually navigating to it. So when directing users on how to get their log file, it would be easier to explain how to get it to them. Especially for people who are using multiple builds side-by-side for testing purposes, since it would remove any doubt that they opened the correct log folder.

In short, it's a QoL thing.

Examples

A dedicated button would be nice, but there's another way to open the log folder, simply right click on any game in the library, click on "Open Folder..." at the top then click on "Open Log Folder" and it opens it

Hmmm, didn't know about that. That would be good enough for me. Then again, if it's decided that this button would be handy in the full settings anyways, this issue can remain open.

I personally agree with your proposition, a big "open log location" in the debug tab under the Logger setting would be a nice addition.

I also think that your idea is worthy of implementation.

Yes, the right-click button for opening folders was added in PR1513, but a button in the menu would also be a good idea.
I was thinking of putting a ComboBox inside the 'Log Filter' with some predefined filters to choose from, for example:

Write manually
*:Critical
and other suggestions 😉
Or maybe a checkbox, 'critical only'

I added the button to see how it looks visually:
