Before version 4.1 I could find my log files in Saved\Logs but I can’t find any log files now with 4.1. I have searched both the engine folder and the project folders. In addition I checked the folders in Library/Application Support/Epic/UnrealEngine. And yesterday I forked the code and built it all locally. That went really smoothly - the steps outlined in the documentation are very well written. So awesome, I now have all the code built with the profiling target and it works great but still no logs that I can see. I’m going to kick off a debug build now, so I’m wondering if I can step through the code where the logs should be created to see what’s up? What code would that be? Thanks! -Dave.

Log files on Mac were moved to ~/Library/Logs and config files were moved to ~/Library/Preferences. ---

Thanks so much. I see all the files now. ---

What is that `~` in the path? I don’t have this path `~/Library/Logs`: I don’t have a `~` folder in the root folder in Finder, only `Macintosh HD` folder.
