sento_silhouette: logfile param defaults to /tmp/inkscape-silhouette.log

[mofosyne]

Still trying to understand how inx works, but I think this would be how to add /tmp/inkscape-silhouette.log as the default logfile path.

This consistency if correct would make bug filing easier for newbies.

INX value works like this. 👍
Can you test if this default value works for Win and Mac?

Don't have windows or mac, but did some digging and this seems like the best approach.

Added a function called get_default_logfile_path() to auto create a logfile path if non is given.

This is ready, just needs merging

this looks elegant and seems to work on any platforms.

can you ensure it works on different platforms by introducing some kind of test?
i.e. check for self.default_logfile_path and assert you can write a file to this path by appending another test?
