WOFF User Backup Utility - New Version

WOFF User Backup Utility - New Version - 09/20/14 10:23 AM

Folks;

I know a few of you have said that you forgot to run the backup after your missions and this is easy to do during the enthusiasm of running back to back missions.

I am looking for a couple of adventurous people to test a latest upgrade to the WOFF User Backup utility.
I have added some simple code that will allow you to start WOFF immediately from within the Backup utility after the backup or restore completes. You will no longer need to use the WOFF desktop icon to start WOFF. The Backup utility itself has not been altered, I have just added another step at the end to allow you to say Yes or No to starting up WOFF.

The idea here is to ensure you don't forget to backup/restore your WOFF files by making this the starting point every time you fly WOFF.

If you are interested trying this, please PM me.

Best Regards;

Robert, the program is unable to find the location of Pilot text files in my PC, it creates "MyWOFFSetupFiles" folder but an several error message appear for 2-3 seconds after backup option is selected saying unable to find Pilot Dossier.txt, etc...

Edit: just one install of WOFF in my computer,...

Tnx Aris. Can you now do a screen capture of the contents of the "Pilots" folder?

I'm sure we can resolve this with a little effort.

I think we can resolve this by having you run the program with some additional capture data turned on. I am currently on vacation and wont be able to address this until I return on Oct 5th. I will PM you then and provide the necessary code.

Thanks for working on this with me.

"The name of the file, the name of the directory or the sintax of label of the volume are not correct."

File "Pilot ??.txt" Not found, etc...

May it be that the program only works for English versions of Windows?

That is a good ?. I would not expect that to be true!
I will work on this with you when I get back. Thanks for the added information
