Confusion about Log File Location storage.

[Bordonbert]

Hi. I surely must be missing something simple here.

The Default Log Folder location is set in Tools-> Options. When I create and run a batch job it writes to that location as it should. However, looking at the saved .ffs_batch file in a text editor I can see the XML and there is an element <\LogFolder>. This never gets populated even when I change the location in Options. Batch files seem to automatically use the default location.

I understand the need to have a default location defined globally but is it possible to define the logfile folder differently for different batch files? If so where would I achieve that and where would that setting get stored?

I have tried entering a location into that <LogFolder/> element in the XML Batch file using other address entries for their format as in:
" <LogFolder>G:\My Documents\FFS Logs\Different</LogFolder>"
That allows the file to load up without error but still uses the default directory when it runs so it is obviously not that simple. If I then resave the batch file I find the <LogFolder/> element has now been populated with the Default location where I had entered a specific test location when I edited the XML.

I've got this in my .ffs_batch file (& presumably ? similar could be in .ffs_gui, but not sure offhand?):

<LogFolder>G:\DEV\BACKUP\FFS_LOGS</LogFolder>


(If you have physical quotes in your file, you do not want that.)

No physical quotes in mine either therube, they were just there to show the extent of the XML entry. Is that G:\DEV\BACKUP\FFS_LOGS address the same as your default folder specified in Tools->Options?
