Re: Could not archive

Check the auto archive settings of your MLO data file: Tools-->Options, Current MLO data file-->AutoArchive.

I haven't heard of this one before.Sounds annoying.  Anyone have ideas?

Just moved my installation of MLO to a new pc (v 3.6 or similar).   Have been an mlo user for 3+ years.   Immediately began getting error message coming up every 5 minutes or so that "Could not archive" and stated that archive path is invalid.   When i went to File/Archive, sure enough, it is trying to save to the old file location.  so i change it by using the Browse button, find a location on the new local machine, click OK,  check to see that the location path is in the field as expected, click ok.  All seems to be ok, but 5 minutes later (and every 5 minutes thereafter), i still get the error message.  The new file path (to the local hard drive) is still in place, and it clearly exists as i can see a series of archive files that i typed in residing there.  Upgraded this morning to V 4.0.0.2012 RC-3 which made no difference.
Nothing turned up in this forum when i typed in "could not archive".  any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That screen with the ‘browse” button in it that John found in File>Archive can also be found in Tools>Options>AutoArchive. I wonder if changes get saved more effectively from the Options menu than from File. Just a shot in the dark . . .

These are two different things, IMHO:

• File>Archive is a one time archive action to an arbitrary file.
• Tools>Options>Current MLO data file>AutoArchive is a configuration, where MLO does archive to every time an auto archive action is due for a certain MLO data file. And this is, IMHO, stored in the MLO data file itself.
  

Just tried out: Archiving to any file in File>Archive does not change the setting seen in Tools>Options>Current MLO data file>AutoArchive.

So my guess is, this error dialog John gets ("Could not archive") might come from auto archive trials by MLO itself (to the "old location") and has only a coincidental connection to Johns File>Archive action (to the "new location").

John, could you check the Tools>Options>Current MLO data file>AutoArchive setting of your MLO data file and give us a feedback?

This seems to have solved the problem.   I hadn't seen the setting under the "Tools" menu and once i changed this, the problem has gone away.  thank you!    I might suggest to the developer to add a note in the File | Archive dialog that explains this fine distinction.  the setting in Tools is reasonably well buried yet i suggest it is the one more likely to be modified.

Apologies for slow reply.  Neglected to check box "email updates to me" and just saw these responses now.   Thanks for the help
