Bug Description

Since I started to work with Mixxx I've noticed the presence of Mixxx.log. In Windows it is hidden by default, mostly because iit is hidden in a already hidden folder in the Windows folder hierachy. Though, in GNU/Linux, "mixxx.log" will always appear on /home/USER/mixxx.log, and there is some people who don't want to have any other file, beside the ones we work with everyday. So, I made a correction against Trunk, and "mixxx.log" is going to be ".mixxx.log" and it will be hidden by default in GNU/Linux systems and I think Mac OS as well. Check out the patch, and coment if it is worthly to include it, just as way to maintain order in or folders. Cheers!

Fixed in lp:mixxx/1.9 r2644

I only made the change for non-Windows platforms as it's hidden in Windows as-is and I know I've seen extra dots confuse Explorer in the past.
