Log Files are not being created

[TechGuy]

When i specify a log file location it doesnt make a log file there only on the appdata location

The line in the config <LogfileFolder Limit="10">C:\PCP\FreeFileSync\Logs</LogfileFolder>



no matter what i try no log will get created

If there's an error during log file creation you should see an error message when you run the batch job.

So there isnt a way to create a log file even when it succeeds? and when we have gotten errors like this one it still doesnt create one in our path

FFS always logs its sync activity in the file

C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync\LastSyncs.log

with recent activity on top.

But you can specify a log file specific for your sync job if you save and execute it as a batch job.

yes we can see the log there but we are trying to have it in a location that is shorter file path but when we try to specify it the log after the run never mentions creating the log file on error or success

Sorry, the link in my previous post was wrong, now is correct.

Take a look at the linked manual page.

[TechGuy]

i have tried that already and still no luck all the settings are correct and the file path was copied right out of File Explorer but no log file

[Zenju]

Are you even running a batch sync (and not via GUI)?
