Logfile of ETP Server

[nagan]

I believe Everything activates the log file (tools>>options>>ETP Server) in the appdata folder ,default logging enabled for ETP/HTTP Server. But the box is blank giving an impression no file has been designated. On click select it leads to an already existing log file , further clicking tells ,if it needs to be replaced. I think the text file with its full path should be in the box.

The empty filename has a special meaning and should not be replaced with actual filename at the time.
This is important for portability and using the %appdata% setting.

Perhaps the actual filename at the time should be shown in the tooltip...

Thanks for the suggestion nagan.

Technically that could be a valid point. But anyway if Everything is already recording the event in a file based on the installation parameters , it can mention the file name and the location somewhere.

May I add another request of opening the log files from Everything itself to check upon something rather than use the explorer route...

Pressing Select will highlight the current log filename in the open file dialog, you could use right click -> edit here to view the current log.

I will consider an open button to do this automatically..

Thanks. Also I thought maybe all the inputs , port, username ,password etc (they need not be greyed?) could be independent of the Enable ETP/FTP server check box tick which mandatorily starts the server first and then takes the input.
The contrast affect perhaps (just a suggestion) could be made for "Enable ETP/FTP Server" which can remain grey if the check box is un ticked.

Greying all the options does make it clearer to the user that the ETP/HTTP servers are disabled.
Changing these settings when the ETP/HTTP servers are disabled will have no effect.

I will consider allowing the user to change these settings without the need to enable the servers first.
