Why is kodi logging under .wine?
I just did a search to find if kodi made any logs.
I was very surprised to find a log in
/home/piglet/home/dhoworth/.wine/dosdevices/y:/.kodi/temp/kodi.log
/home/piglet/home/dhoworth/ is a data directory where I keep most of my personal files. Lots of things have symbolic links from /home/dhoworth to there because there is more space there. e.g.
/home/dhoworth/Pictures -> ../piglet/home/dhoworth/Pictures/
.wine is there because in the dim and distant past it used to actually be my home directory and in those dim and distant days I occasionally used wine, but I haven't used it for ages.
So why has the newly installed kodi decided to write a log in such an obscure place?
Answering myself, it's because .wine/dosdevices/y: is a symlink to my home directory.
I've just removed the whole .wine tree to avoid confusing myself in the future.
