The logs containing filepaths is the reason I haven't posted any debug logs. Offer to create 2 archives: 1 being the normal 'sensitive' one, and other where directories and filenames have been replaced by pseudonames.

2 because then you may before or later match up the problematic paths.

Paths before example:

C:\Users\petrovski\Desktop\projects\confidential\xyz\byz.txt
C:\Users\petrovski\Desktop\projects\confidential\xyz\kyk.pdf

After:

C:\budget\manual\educate\harlem\society\compact\baker
C:\budget\manual\educate\harlem\society\compact\convert

I think this would be a great enhancement. Someone will need to:

• inventory all (or at least the most common) potential sensitive values
• build the logic to replace these values with dummy ones that are still consistent throughout the logs (so the logs remain useful) and make it extensible enough that new sensitive values can easily be added to it over time
• extend the user interface to support both modes

PR are always welcome. :)

In the mean time:

• Global search and replace
• Share only limited excerpts (can be edited and cleared of information deemed sensitive in a more manageable manner)
