That's good to know. I would not have thought of that approach.

I'm probably not the norm in this, but I think "Logging" or maybe "Journal".


Going to System Settings to change something for a folder is very much
not what I would think to do. I would expect access to this feature
through the folder properties. I see "Privacy" also allows
applications to go untracked, something I would expect to change in
the application properties, but access to those is generally lacking.
The application properties I speak of would be something changed using
the file manager on the .desktop file which launches the application,
not something accessed within the application itself.
