[GNC] Placement of autosaves and log files

[Adrien Monteleone]

I agree an option would be best with sub-folders as what I'd call a 
'sane default'.

As for the OPs files, I suspect the search wasn't required, but maybe 
seemed to be useful for a directory with *lots* of files. (It also might 
be a case of familiarity with search and limited familiarity with 
sorting and arranging views in File Explorer to quickly find things)

Regards,
Adrien
