Hello all,

what's meant by the new option of FreeFileSync 10.3 "•New %logfile_path% macro for "on completion" " in the change log? How can I use this? What is it doing?

Kind Regards

I agree, and can only assume details will be available with 10.4 next month.

I have two requests associated with this question:
1) can we fetch the dynamic logfile name along with %logfile_path%? (it is not lastsync.log since 10.3)
2) if so, would it be possible to attach that log to an email, per your freefilesync.vbs script?

Excellent effort, btw, we all appreciate your work to keep the script current and relevant.

Hi all,

the documentation of the %logfile_path% macro should be published with 10.3 where it's implemented. Actually I don't know if this could be used for the freefilesync.vbs script.

I found a new bug in the VBS script. Sometimes the script checked the wrong log file. This is possible if there is more than one job running at the same time. So I've uploaded a new version of the script with the bugfix, see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2095&p=18563#p18563.

Kind Regards
