I was investigating why a download item on the Archive website was causing problems for somebody, and got this error box:
Warning from Netsurf The file could not be saved due to an error: 'ADFS::Drive2.$.2310d/zip' is a directory Turned out that the drive where I was attempting to drop the downloaded item already had a copy of the item. Deleted the copy, retried the download, and it completed OK. Two observations: (1) The wording of the warning seems inappropriate. A "directory"? (2) The text of the warning was not recorded by !Syslog (whose job is to make it easy for people submitting bug reports to quote the exact wording of an error message). I searched the whole log and found nothing from Netsurf. Which leads me to ask: Does Netsurf need to be tweaked somehow so that its errors will be logged? Or does !Syslog (or its subsidiary !Wimplog) need the tweak? *help wimplog says: "The Wimplog module logs errors sent to Wimp_ReportError (ie, shown as error boxes on the screen) to a file using !Syslog." (I'm using Netsurf #2789 on Iyonix 5.18, Syslog 0.20, Wimplog 1.02) -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk
