Location of logfile for transmission-gtk

I modified /home/user/.config/transmission/settings.json to set

"message-level": 3,

to try to debug a port problem. Trouble is I can't find the log file. I looked in /var/log and there was nothing there.

If it's relevant I'm running transmission 2.82 on Ubuntu Server LTS 14.04.4 (Trusty Tahr).

Thanks
Dave

Erm I'm not running the daemon - I'm running transmission.gtk - and I assume that as YOU write the code, that YOU know where you put the logfile.

GUI clients don't write logs to file. With GTK+ client, select Help -> Message Log from main menu.
