General log files

The message list in the main view and the log file generator are not related to each other.

Don't write any log files
The program does not write any log files. Choose this on very slow systems to speed up or if you do not need any log files. This setting is like all settings on this page global.

Write all to default log file
If the program should write a log file of all actions then check this box. All actions will be written into the same file which is located in the default log file folder <user folders>/Applications/FileMove Pro/logs/DefaultLog.txt. Because the file is getting very large after using FileMove Pro often the reduce file size setting is recommended.

Single log file per job
Every job gets his own log file. Choose one of the saving places below.

Write to default log folder
The log file will be written into the default log folder. This folder is located at <user folders>/Applications/FileMove Pro/logs/. The file name is depending from the 'Replace existing log files' setting.

Write to source folder

Write to destination folder
The log file will be written into the destination directory. The file name is depending from the 'Replace existing log files' setting as well.

Replace existing log files
If the box is activated then the log file name contains the job name and the extension 'txt'. Uncheck this box an the date and time for every execution will be appended to the file name and every execution of a job will create a new log file.

Max file size in kb
