When I try to create a text log file under Windows, I have found a 
couple of issues.

<magicklog>
   <log events="Warning" />
   <log events="Error" />
   <log events="FatalError" />
   <log output="txtfile" />
   <log filename="Magick-%d.log" />
   <log generations="3" />
   <log limit="2000" />
   <log format="%t %r %u %p %m/%f/%l/%d/%s:\n  %e"  />
</magicklog>

a) When running the installed version of my app, the log file never 
appears, probably because the app tries to write to the same directory 
as the executable, but does not have the necessary permissions.

No error is reported

If I install or copy the installation directory to a place on the drive 
where I have write permission, all is fine.

Need to find a way to specify the path to the log file

-------

b) No error is reported if the 'txtfile' is 'misspelled', i.e. for 
'textfile', and no output either. Very hard to track down especially for 
a newb, like myself :-( ;-)

-------

c) When running the app under the MSVC 2019 IDE, for either the debug or 
release version, the log file appears in the parent directory of the 
executeable directory; this may be a 'Windows MSVC' thing -

PS: I very much would like to have a way for my app to inspect the 
configuration data, especially when debugging an app.

Please advise whether or not I should raise any of these as a bug report.

TIA,

Arnold
