Sabaki complains about a missing gtp_logs folder when configuring KataGo

[sagehane]

I tried getting KataGo working on the Linux AppImage of Sabaki (v0.52.2).

Relevant section of settings.json:

  "engines.list": [
    {
      "name": "KataGo",
      "path": "/etc/profiles/per-user/plumeus/bin/katago",
      "args": "gtp -config /home/plumeus/Downloads/gtp.cfg -model /home/plumeus/Downloads/kata1-b28c512nbt-s7168446720-d4316919285.bin.gz"
    }
  ],

Expected behaviour:

KataGo should work just like on the commandline

$ katago gtp -model /home/plumeus/Downloads/kata1-b28c512nbt-s7168446720-d4316
919285.bin.gz -config /home/plumeus/Downloads/gtp.cfg

Actual behaviour

Sabaki complains about some missing folder in the logs.

[2024-07-02 16:57:45.365] <KataGo>  (meta) : Engine Started
[2024-07-02 16:57:45.405] <KataGo>   (err) : terminate called after throwing an instance of 'StringError'

Hmm, uncommenting the line in my gtp.cfg file that corresponds to https:/lightvector/KataGo/blob/v1.14.1/cpp/configs/gtp_example.cfg#L47 seems to solve it.
