Specify log file without path

Hi there

Is this possible?
I tried and it seemed to take a log file name ok before (I think) but now is giving me problems.
The reason I want to do this is to avoid the tedium of updating the logfile path when i copy VV profiles from one directory to another.

Thanks

Hi, it needs the entire path but you can use:

<profilepath>log5.log

<profilepath> expands automatically to the path of the profile.

thanks

Thank you.
Are there any other variables that may be used in the log file field?
E.g. One that represents the name of the profile I would find very useful....

I go here
Vice Versa > Change Profile Settings > Execution > F1
Takes me to help location
Profile Settings > Execution
I scroll down to Logging.
I do not see mention of any variables.

Am I looking in the wrong place?
