No more log files? or is it correctly generated and where ?

Post by yannick92 »

Good morning
I have been using the very practical "eac3to µGUI" for a long time for my encodings (with eac3to 3.34).
But since I wanted to try 3.49, encoding ok, but I no longer have a "log" file created at the end of processing, it's a bit annoying...
Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance if you have an idea?
Sincerely
Yannick

A file called log.txt should be created in the current directory (where you are when you execute the eac3to command). The name is going to change in the next version. See the discussion at the end of this thread:

Good evening,

Thank you for your answer, I think I understand the idea, but I tried with 3.50, and no log file was generated...

More precisely:
No log in the EAC3 folder (where the .exe is)
No log in the conversion destination folder.
No log in the source folder (where my .mkv is located)
And no log either in the eac3To µGUI folder.

I do not understand anything ? Am I missing something?
Where is the LOG ??
thank you and good evening

The log file is created in the "current directory". Are you running eac3to directly or through a GUI? If directly, then you are in a DOS command window in some directory and giving the command eac3to. That directory is the current directory. If using a GUI I don't know what directory it executes eac3to from.

If you open a DOS prompt and do 'cd somewhere', then somewhere is your "current directory". Often people cd to the directory where they have the source files, or where they are creating the destination files.

If you are using a GUI and don't know where it is going, you can try a search to find log files:

cd \
dir log*.txt /s

Sorry, I just noticed that you named the GUI in your first post. I cannot find "eac3to µGUI". Please give me a link to download it. Anybody else know what that is?
