Problem with creating report file in custom folder
« on: June 01, 2008, 12:24:59 AM »
Hello!  :)
I wanted to change the default setting and to specify my personal folder where the all reports will be saved, but there was no change... The reports are still are in the default folder("Standart report folder")...  ???
Also it seems that my corrections of the "overwrite existing" takes no effect...
Is there anybody who can help me with some more info about that... ::)
Thanks in advantage!  ;)

You can go to Reports tab of settings and configure it there.

avast! settings...
Report File
Options "Create report file" and "Overwrite existing" are activated;
I have chosen "Custom program folder" (C:\My Documents\... etc.);
Type of file - "Text file"...

And with these settings the reports continue to create in Standart Program Folder (C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\report)...  ::)

And what exactly was the custom folder you entered? (the full path, I mean)
Also, are we talking about the Simple User Interface?

Hello again!  :)
So, I think I solved the problem... May be the mistake has been mine... Anyway, thank you for your responsiveness!
I had specified C:\Documents and Settings\Rado & Jully\My Documents\Rado's documents... (without making a certain folder about reports), but about a half hour ago I make some additional folder in Rado's Documents ("avast's report)... and after a test the results were already there!  8)
So, thanks one more time of your atention and please excuse me...
I'm new user (after my disappointment of the new AVG Free 8.0)... I read many AV forums and I have to say that in the most of them for "avast!" there were only positive opinions!
My impressions are also pretty good, so see you and good luck!
