Change Eve logging folder

Hello all, i'm really new linux user and, as u can easily imagine, i'm encountering a lof of problems to adapt to linux system after 20+ yearssof MS crap...

All is working here but i would like to tweak stuff a bit and move the default EVE log/screenshots/etc folders (actually in /home/fenix/EVE) to anoter one: /home/fenix/Fake Documenti & Impostazioni/EVE

thiss to have the old windows documents & settings folder into a single equivalent on linux so every wine-run probgram wil lpace their files into there keeping home folder a lot cleaner.
So i've used winecfg to change links to the new folder and seems it works for all other wine-run programs but not for eve since it keeps logging chats into the default /home/fenix/EVE folder.

Asking around a friend told me i'm running 2 wine instances: one made by ccp that runs eve and other for all other programs and can't change folders for the ccp's made wine. this is why Vintel can't hook up the logs: it's corerctly linked to /home/fenix/Fake Documenti & Impostazioni/ as i wish but eve keeps loggin into /home/fenix/.

Is there a way to fix this? and i mean force eve to log into new directory, i can make vintel to work by changing back wine symlinks but it's not what i want to achieve.

Please forgive me if i used wrong terms, i'm total noob

Any help is welcome!

Oh well since couldn't find any way to phisically move the "EVE" fodler to other partition i've just Symlinked it to the folder i used for all other settings in wine.... works but i still have to keep that "EVE" fodler in my home

Now Vintel, running under standard wine 2.0 (wine staging 2.1 isn't working here), works looking into desired folders and not into Dev's version log folder... it's jsut a workaround and not 100% got what i want... but works.

If anyone finds what file (if any) can be modified or other way to achieve a phisical move please post it!
