No, the idea would be to separate the logs (i.e. temporary files that
you hope you never need to access) from the actual data that is your
accounts.  

I keep everything to do with the organisation that I run the accounts
for in a single directory (with sub-directories if that makes sense),
so in my home directory there's pcc/2020 which has in it:-

    08 - sub-directory with some correspndence etc. from August 2020
    2020balancesheet.html - what it says
    building.gnucash - building fund accounts
    general.gnucash - general fund accounts
    giftaid - sub-directory containing scans of GiftAid envelopes, to submit to HMRC

... and GnuCash clutters the place up with:-

    building.gnucash.20210202152822.log
    building.gnucash.20210202153313.log
    building.gnucash.20210202153340.log
    building.gnucash.20210202153716.log
    general.gnucash.20210202152810.log
    general.gnucash.20210202152933.log
    general.gnucash.20210202153145.log
    general.gnucash.20210202154835.log
    general.gnucash.20210202155038.log

Which really is rather a pain! :-)
