Output the uploader.py logfiles into the script dir instead of the images dir

[mattiasostmar]

It seems I have lost the external HD when carrying at around during my X-mas holiday. If I don't get it back I cant resolve an important task. Since I store eveything in the script dir on Github it would've been nice to have access to the logs even though the external drive is missing.

Or is there some other simple way to assure this malaise doesn't have to happen again?

I think that most of the time storing the logs in the script dir doesn't make sense. If you run multiple uploads with the same script (say you get another 500 images) there would be no easy way of figuring out which log file was related to which image directory and you would have to build in some naming logic to prevent the log file from being overwritten by an unrelated run.

Most of the log files are meant only for temporary usage and should be considered disposable. For the LSH runs I built some final reports though which is something which could be re-usable here. IIRC the reports are:

• Non-matched files (no or insufficient metadata for these)
• Non-uploaded files (we made the image description but the upload failed)
• Successfully uploaded files (id in GLAM system mapped to final filename on Commons, meant for importing the data into their system)

Yes, fair points.

This might need further discussion on how to fix - standardizing logging is one of the talking points around code quality/standardizing things tasks on Phabricator
