Please, consider providing direct access to the application log-files, from the "Help" menu.

Thank you.

I am a little bit hesitating here.
Eventually no one cares to read the log file I hope.
Currently the log-files have .log extension, which if I ask to the OS to open them, it is arbitrary which application is picked up.
We could rename the logfiles to .txt, to overcome that issue.

We can open file-explorer in the log directory similar to #56.

The intention of direct access to the log files, is not so much for the sake of the user to read, as much is it is for the user to quickly locate, and then pass on to the developer for evaluation on reported issues. It cuts out unnecessary back and forth correspondence between the developer and inexperienced users who do not usually know what the log files are called, or where they are located.

Please ignore it as you see fit, especially if it is a troublesome addition.
