Hello, There are several unfortunate issues with wxconsole.
1. We have tested and built it against wxWidgets 2.6.x (if I remember right), and some users seem to be building it against wxWidgets 2.8, which is almost sure to fail since their API has surprise changes on each major version :-( 2. There is and has been no Bacula developer to work on wxconsole for several years now. I have "patched" a few problems, but my "patching" is not a good solution. 3. We are developing a replacement (bat) that we can support, which already has far more functionality than wxconsole. 4. So, bottom line, wxconsole is deprecated and thus scheduled to go away in a future release (probably 2.4.0).

Can't seem to find a pattern to it. I access the same director with gnome and text consoles with no problems at all I too am starting to think wx-console isn't reliable at the moment > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
