What is the issue?

I’ve only tested on windows but I notice that the View Logs does not actually pull ip a log file, but rather an empty command line window set to a Ollama path.

Relevant log output


OS

Windows

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

v0.9.5

The logic in that menu item runs the equivalent of cmd /c start %LOCALAPPDATA%\Ollama\ which should open an explorer window with the log directory. What happens if you try to run that command in a terminal? Can you share a screen shot of what you see in the app when you use that menu item? Can you share the app.log as well? (perhaps there's an error in there that may help understand what's going wrong)
