Thanks John!  Apparently in version 5.3 on Mac, the data directory and 
config directory of GC is the same on Mac at 
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/GnuCash, and the log files 
are in the translog directory underneath.  However, the log.conf file is 
nowhere to find (supposed to be located at GNC_CONFIG_HOME 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_CONFIG_HOME>/log.conf 
according to https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Logging).

Should I create a log file manually if the I want to use a non-default 
configuration?  Thanks!
