Shotcut

Where Shotcut keeps its logs

Shotcut logs to ~/Library/Application Support/Meltytech/Shotcut/shotcut-log.txt on macOS.

Shotcut logs to ~/.local/share/Meltytech/Shotcut/shotcut-log.txt on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as Shotcut writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
