log file?

[lar282]

Hi
Is there a log file for girder so I can see error messages.

I get an error when booting up my pc and girder starts automatically. It says that one plugin cant be loaded.
If I exit girder and start it again it wont happen. then all works fine! So its only on a fresh started pc. So I was wondering if I can enable logging of some kind?

Sounds like you should delay girder's loading.

Ron,

I've heard that a lot recently! That was also my fix for the audio card, and would have been an alternative solution to a problem I had with MBM.

Maybe there's a case for an Girder (4?) option to delay a few seconds before loading the plug-ins and getting going? Maybe only if the machine has just restarted?

Yeah I have been thinking the same for G4. Now how to find out if Windows just started. (GetTickCount comes to mind).

[avid]

GetTickCount() will work well enough. The only slight gotcha is:
The elapsed time is stored as a DWORD value. Therefore, the time will wrap around to zero if the system is run continuously for 49.7 daysBut if I had a slight chance of a 10s delay on restarting Girder on a machine that had been up for 7 weeks, I could live with it!

never mind. :-)

or you could just add a command line parameter to the startup shortcut (ie something like "/startup")

[Ron]

Yeah that would work :-) Aah it's the simple solutions.

Very neat
