[GNC] GNU Cash and Windows 10 Bitlocker

[Sudesh Chandar]

Hello group,
I am currently using GNU Cash Ver. 5.4 and have this weird problem.
I store my *.gnucash file on a bitlocker protected seperate harddrive and have noticed that GNU cash locks the entire drive when used.
It doesn't release the lock even when I exit the application.
I have to manually use a "Force -Dismount" option command in power shell to release the lock.
My second question is that, Is there a way or option to set the backup and *.log files in a separate drive and subdirectory?
The GNU Cash help hasn't mentioned this at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sudesh Chandar,
