How to change where log files are stored?

How can I change where the log files are stored?

Change the name / add a path to this line:
https://github.com/ThioJoe/YouTube-Spammer-Purge/blob/a859563ff1ac8e5751fac7a7e66d60ef97d299a8/YouTubeSpammerPurge.py#L2520

This ultimately uses Python's open() built-in, which is OS agnostic. So something like

logFileName = "C:\logfiles\Spam_Log_" + datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S" + ".rtf")

for Windows or

logFileName = "/home/{YourUsername}/logfiles/Spam_Log_" + datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S" + ".rtf")

for Linux/MacOS should be fine.

So I have to edit the code? I thought there would be a method to change it in the config file.

Nope, sorry. The log file's path is hard coded.

Added this as a config value in #226
