How to make path of log file in the config relative to exe folder, but not the active folder?

[yalov]

I can get the abs_path of the folder of exe in the code, and prepend it to the log path in global config:

    el::Loggers::configureFromGlobal((get_folder_of_exe() / "easylogging++.conf").string().c_str());
    
    // update path of the main log file to be not relative to active folder, but to the folder of exe
    auto logger = el::Loggers::getLogger("default");
    std::string abs_filepath = (get_folder_of_exe() / logger->typedConfigurations()->filename(el::Level::Info)).string();
    
    logger->configurations()->setGlobally(el::ConfigurationType::Filename, abs_filepath);
    logger->reconfigure();

but:

• it still create empty log file in the old location,
• it requires hardcode of logger id ("default"), but I want path to be related to the exe of all loggers, that could be added in the global.conf later.

P.S. "active folder" is different from the "exe folder" if I try to launch exe in the console from a different location.
