Category:Log Files: Difference between revisions

Most log files apply to both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX, but a few log files are only used by one flavour. For example '''Speciallog.txt''' is only Cumulus 1. For example '''cumumulusmx.db''' is only MX. For example '''Weather diary''' is stored in different files in Cumulus 1 and MX. For example, various ''.ini'' log files have different formats (for dates, times, decimals) in Cumulus 1 (where they take formats from Control Panel settings) and MX (where they ignore locale settings, and have a fixed format set in MX).

See individual articles for suchmore details on such differences. '''Please note, the information for MX is taken from notes by Steve Loft, and applies to MX 3.0.0. Although, some updates have been made in line with release announcements by Mark, it is likely Mark has made other changes that affect the various log files that are not detailed in the release announcements, possibly making some content obsolete.''' In particular '''internal''' changes mentioned in release announcements for versions 3.6.x, and 3.7.0, have made MX work significantly differently and you may find that log files created in earlier versions can no longer be read. In particular 3.7.0 is very fussy about symbols used to separate parts of dates, within times, and all must match the latest locale settings.
