blog: latest beta

When using robust transfers the following feature/option still doesn't function as advertised, the option, "Log error and continue" still stops on the first error that it gets and prompts one for further actions, this is surely not correct, I understand the option "log error and continue" to mean that the transfer will continue without my intervention should there be an error.

The current implementation is misleading and frustrating for it means that I cannot leave my pc unattended whilst doing large transfers, I need to sit there and wait for it to encounter an error so that I can then select "yes to all", that defeats the objective of "Log error and continue".

that can't be, can you tell us a small example that reproduces the problem?

There is this very good manual. Start reading it?

I must do it to! There is so much information in it that I don't use. And I use it already a long time. Almost four year.

I don't have a bug report for the beta, but I do have one for the announcement about it on the homepage (http://zabkat.com):

[20.Jan.08] Beta build 170.10

A small update is almost ready for circulation; if you feel comfortable with beta versions you can get a glimplse of the new features...

• That version number looks a bit high.
• "glimplse"? Isn't that a kind of German pastry?

Cheers, Ander

Is this another one? It happened in the previous beta too:

You fixed that calling another robust copy jumps to the next item in the transfer queue. But after finishing this new copy process the transfer window doesn't close.

Can somebody reproduce that?

no i can't. Does it stay up all the time? You can get rid of it by hitting cancel or X. Which windows are you running?

ps does the window stay up always or only when this queue jumping effect is involved?
