Thoughts on increasing stdout/err to include paths? #265

New feature type

What is this new feature?

I'd like to have directory path printed whenever something is successful or not successful. But I know I tend to like more output than most people, so thought I would check.

I believe it would save me time when the package works, because I can check the output file and it would say (for example): ...Zonal mean plots have been generated successfully. See and then I can just go look there. Otherwise I have to check my config file for where I said they would go, and replace variables etc.

Even more useful would be to say what directory is being looked in when files aren't found. I believe this would have saved me a few hours of debugging today because I had to go into the code and print out what location it was looking in. Yes, this took too long but I hadn't looked in that code before. (BTW I had failed to set the correct path of my baseline climo files).

I can implement this if approved.

Assistance required?

No, I will make a PR when the feature is ready
