Re: File recovery request

Hi,
you can delete it yourself by Windows explorer, see PATH in the dialog box.

Re: File recovery request

The file has already been deleted. The dialog box appears constantly. Is it possible that Qelectrotech is storing crash information?

Re: File recovery request

Super, everything worked out.
Thanks.

Re: File recovery request

today I had a crash on the application
it took me about half hour to find where to delete this old file

the folder "stalefiles" is difficult to remember
is it not possible to add this folder in the message popup?
or else to add a second question if the user does not want to reopen then to delete this file

Always using the latest development version

Re: File recovery request

Did you ever look in your Log-files?
"Menu" -> "Help" -> "About QElectroTech" -> Tab "Log"
There you'll find something like this:

14:06:08.447 Info:  For QET configuration-files: 
14:06:08.447 Info:  App Config Location: "/home/ich/.config/QElectroTech/QElectroTech" 
14:06:08.447 Info:  For data-files (user-/company-collections, titleblocks, etc.): 
14:06:08.447 Info:  App Data Location: "/home/ich/.local/share/QElectroTech/QElectroTech" 
14:06:08.447 Info:  Directory for project stalefiles:
14:06:08.447 Info:  Generic Data Location: "/home/ich/.local/share/stalefiles/QElectroTech/"

Depending on your system It may be another directory, but the entry in log-file starts also with "Generic Data Location:"!

Re: File recovery request

no I never looked in this log
and also "stalefiles" is not giving me any clue that this is where I can find the restore file
in terms of Windows this is no information

Always using the latest development version

Re: File recovery request

Stalefiles are automatic Backup-files during runtime of QET.

Why do you want to delete the stalefile by hand? Maybe an "old" QET-Version?
see this post:
https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 869#p20869

In both cases the stalefiles are handled by QET:
When I press "Cancel" the files are deleted instantly and when I click "OK" the backup-files are used by QET and deleted, when closed.
