log file management via web browser #2811

Open mark-epstein opened 6 months ago

Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a module?

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the feature

Please make a page with hyperlinks to each stored log file so it can be downloaded via the web browser.

logs are apparently archived (now? I am on 3.2.0 but don't remember this in the past) as implied by the log message, log: You can view older logs in the configuration folder

It also might be nice if a user can delete old log archives. I'm not convinced myself that this is a good idea.

Usecases

The web GUI user needs to access log files, but might not have access to the OS hosting Companion. Many possible reasons for this: user is on a different computer accessing Companion over a network; user lacks permissions to the configuration folder of Companion; etc.
