dfQ Phase II - alpha release (+ minor improvements)

[m0ti]

New features:

Backs up filelist.txt so one can go back to a filelist.txt from a previous generation if one gets the all too familiar bad filelist.txt error.

Added on a workaround where empty files generated by the uploader get deleted periodically.

I've recently downloaded this but have yet to get it to work.

Is there some more 'detailed' documentation on how to set this up and how the java application that seems to be required is installed and configured on a windows machine.

Any current users who might be able to share their experiences would be great.

Moti,

Here is the error I was getting on the uploader last night. Nothing uploaded and I've stopped dfQ for the time being. Any thoughts? Is this supposed to happen?

Thanks.

Hmmm, that's somewhat strange.

In general (if I remember correctly) the files which aren't valid (i.e. can't be opened) are cleared out perioidically.

The question is is this happenning for all/most of the files or is it just an occassional occurance?

Finally got back to check your answer. Sorry for the delay.

That message was occuring every 10 minutes. When I checked the log nothing had in fact uploaded at all.

At that stage, rather than risk the work being cached, I uploaded the files manually.

I'd still like to get this working but won't have another opportunity to play around with for a week or so. I'll let you know then if there is more success.
