Where are GUI logs in Windoze

[wassy]

Hi,

I mainly use FB on my linux server, with awesome results I must say. Occasionally when my super cool rename everything with zero human interaction script fails or gets it wrong (maybe a bit more than occasionally) I have to go in and use the GUI version on my Windows laptop to tweak some series/film names.

I had a problem with renaming on Samba shares, until I realised I was being an idiot and the samba directory was not writeable by the user that the share was mounted as. Filebot gave no error however, and I ended up looking for the log files.

I looked in %AppData%\Filebot and could not see anything there, only history.xml and the cache directories. I couldn't find any tag in filebot.l4j.ini to suggest where the logs might be. Where then would I find the logs for the windows GUI version of Filebot?

In case it helps, here is my sysinfo script output

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\FileBot>filebot.exe -script fn:sysinfo
FileBot 3.8 (r1840)
JNA Native: 4.0.0
MediaInfo: MediaInfoLib - v0.7.64
7-Zip-JBinding: OK
chromaprint-tools: fpcalc version 1.0.0 (C:\Program Files (x86)\FileBot\fpcalc.e
xe)
Extended Attributes: OK
Groovy Engine:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_45
32-bit Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
Windows 8 (x86)
Done ?(?????)?

C:\Program Files (x86)\FileBot>

Thanks In Advance

MOVE operations are performed by the native Windows File-Move dialog so filebot doesn't know if any errors happened. Just knows if the files are there in the end and updates the GUI accordingly.

If you use FileBot (platform) it'll use the Java Files API for MOVE and that will give you some logs in the console. Though since the issue is server-side I doubt there will be any useful logs on the client-side other than "Can't move file".

Thanks for the reply, I'll know for future now.

I was more interested in finding out if/where logs are stored for future reference as I have already solved that problem with moving files.
