Personal Log is a very simple application designed to help users maintain a daily log or diary. A minimal GUI offers a blank space to write.

• The application attempts to keep today's date open and editable at all times.
• Changes in the date trigger saving the current log.
• Changing the date also presents a blank log for the new date.
• All logs are saved as .txt files

• Allows user to set the parent directory for saving logs.
• Takes user input for the save directory and saves it in the settings.
• This does not move any existing log files to the new parent. This could be useful if you want your logs to existing in an automatically backed up location.

• Enables user to set the export path for saving .
• Takes user input for the export path and saves it in the settings.

• Exports all logs to a single file.
• This will recursively check all files and folders in the log parent directory and consolidate all files into one large file for easy uploading or backing up
• The is no import button however so you should backup the raw .txt log files ideally

3. Saving Current Log:

   • To manually save, click the "Save" button.

4. Opening Log Files:

   • Use the "Open" button any type in a title or date to start a new log.
   • The application will display the log content for the chosen date if any exist already.

• Opening a custom log or date will cancel the automatic date update behavior.
• Ensure that the date format follows the YYYY.MM.DD format for best compatibility.

Feel free to explore and make the most of your Personal Log.
