Relative path support for bufferBaseFilename property when set on config?

[jafin]

May I check if the this package (for use with bufferBaseFilename eg) supports relative paths?
When configured in the app.config such as:

<add key="serilog:write-to:Seq.bufferBaseFilename" value="~/app_data/seq_buffer" />

Seq writes on this system to \windows\system32\inetsrv~\app_data
Ideally it would of written to the relative path of the web app.

Hi @jafin - since environment variables can be substituted into values, there's a technique detailed in serilog/serilog#454 (comment) for doing this. HTH!~

I think that the APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH environment variable would emulate ~ adequately in this case.
