Track Filename in log file can contain identifiable information - filename should only contain the relative path #652

Open

Description

@ThornedRose

The user directory is exposed in the filename in the log file as it's set to output the absolute path.

e.g. /home/<user>/Music/<CDrip folder>/
or
/mnt/<user's drive>/<CDrip folder>/

If the person using whipper has their username set to their actual name, sharing the log file would expose this identifiable information as would if their drive is named something unique or personal.

The log output should only include the relative file path.

e.g. ~/Music/<CDrip folder> or

../../<CDrip folder>/

    Only ripped 2 disks so far but think setting working_directory does that.

    output_directory = ~/Music
    /home/<user>/Music/<CDrip folder>/
    
    working_directory = ~/Music
    <CDrip folder>/
