Log File path inop

[Paul]

When I enter the variable %AppData% in the "Log file output path" in EuekaLog Options form the log is not created in the \Documents and Settings\{UserName}\Application... folder. The EurkaLog is being created in the application startup path and then it creates a new folder under that named "%AppData%". It is treating that as a literal instead of a variable.

bug just fixed in the last released 6.5.1 stable! :)

The problem is that the variables are converted to actual locations when you save the EurekaLog options
When you go back into the option you see absolute locations like C:\Users\Martin\
This is not useful if you deploy the program to another person's computer

The variable name should be saved and resolved only at runtime
