Customization feature to choose a directory for dumping of log files
Often having a custom directory for dumping of log files is very useful to have the code files and executable separated from the location of data dumps. In this PR, this can be achieved by specifying log_dir in the Output block of idefix.ini. I remember that PLUTO already has such an option and it was quite helpful to me, personally as it prevented me to from accidentally overwriting the log files. I hope the developers find this a useful feature to have.
I tested with the KHI HD problem. Also sharing the relevant
.ini
file and the cmake command used is:cmake $IDEFIX_DIR/ -DIdefix_MPI=ON -DIdefix_HDF5=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-DXDMF_DOUBLE"
