How to redirect the output from desktop-entry

I have a program called prg.exe written in C#. I want to run this program in mono with an argument (arg1) and redirect the output to a log file called log.txt.
If I open a terminal and enter the command:

mono --debug prg.exe arg1 > log.txt

everything works fine.
When the program is finished, the log.txt file is created, which contains any error.

Now I want to create a desktop entry called prg.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=My prg
Comment=some comment
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/openbox.xpm
Exec=mono --debug prg.exe arg1 > log.txt
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Terminal=false
Categories=None;

If I run prg.desktop, the log.txt file is not created.
What do I need to do to create the log file?

Thank you very much.

Can you try to give the absolute path to txt file? In many cases the file is usually created, just you can not see it.

something like :

[Desktop Entry]
Name=My prg
Comment=some comment
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/openbox.xpm
Exec=mono --debug prg.exe arg1 > /home/op/Programe/Consola/log.txt
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Terminal=false
Categories=None;
