Please look at the logs for more details. RRS feed

  • Question

  • OK, I hit file - view log and my sync operation has skipped 24 files.

    the message says "Please look at the logs for more details."

    But I thought I WAS looking at the log....

    so where do I find these other logs of which it speaks?

  • I am sorry there is only one synctoy log, it is the one you were looking.
    Why you saw the message says "Please look at the logs for more details.",  because this message should be output in console window too, and details record in log. Sorry for making you feel confused, but for the skipped files that means those files have no change, so they were skipped.

  • I have the same issue like mentioned above:

    SyncToy worked as command line tool and had some issues to sync files (may be they were in use, but I am not sure about that). It does not tell what specific file sync failed, only says:
    "SYNC: 02/18/2011 10:39:55:250: *** The Sync operation completed successfully on folder pair '<name>' but some files were skipped. Please look at the logs for more details."

    Where do I find this specific log? In "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\SyncToy\2.0\SyncToyLog.log" there is the same info with no additional details. I would like to know the file names, for which the sync has failed.

    Thanks
