Dump File Location
The state information will be written to a file in a folder named "Truxton\\Debug Dumps" with a timestamp and process id in the filename.
If the logdir option was not set, the root folder for the dump folder will be in the Program Data folder, usually the hidden C:\ProgramData folder.
Examples
Individual Process
If an indevidual process was told to dump its state and logdir was set to "E:\Logs\" then the dump file would be something like this:
E:\Logs\Truxton\\Debug Dumps\\20230523_174359_Process_1234_DebugDump.xml
