When I open the Connect dialog in ES, the default value displayed in the Lofgfile field at the bottom of the dialog is c:\EuroScope20101113.txt

 

I want to change this default value but I can't find it anywhere in the textfiles. Is it hardcoded?

No it is not, simply save and load a log file in the folder you want and it will remember it.

Sorry, it does not work.

How can ES remember the previous path of the logfile (from my previous login), when the path it is not stored in any of the ES files?

I try OTHER SET --> Save all settings, and "Save" all changes at exit, but nomatter what I do this always comes up in the Connect dialog box:

 

Logfile c:\EuroScope20101114.txt

 

Then I have to browse again....

 

I am logged in as *_OBS while I am trying this. Do I need to log in as *_TWR?

Why do you think they have to be saved in a ES file to work??

Open Control Panel-> Performance and Maintenance->System->Environment Variables->ES_LOG_FOLDER and edit it to the place you want .

There was no environment variable ES_LOG_FOLDER, but I created it and now it works perfectly.

Thanks!

Does this mean the new version works like this? That would be good!

I downloaded version 3.1d and installed it according to the published docomeentation. The environment variable was not there after the installation, so I had to create the environamnt variable manually. But once it was created, ES remembers the path and automatically creates a new logfile in the same folder every time the date changes. You can also edit the filename manually if you like.
