| I have searched and searched and tried to find an answer, and cannot, so I am asking now. I have recently returned to MU*client following the death of my laptop, and I am trying to set it back up on a borrowed desktop. The problem I am finding, is that in the global defaults preferences, there is no option to auto-log on connect, even though the help files says that option should be there. Is there a way to get this setup and working on MU*client? I have the latest version 4.51 downloaded from this site. Thank you so much!

| | Yes, go to File -> World Properties -> Connecting. You can put your username/password into the fields there, select an auto-connect mechanism, and add text that you want to be sent when you connect. |

| | My apologies, I should have been more specific, though I thank you for the reply. I want to start the world logging output to a log file on connect, and this option is supposed to be in global preferences, or in the logging option for each world, but it seems to have been removed. | | Top |

| | Ah! All you need to do is go to the "Logging" tab in World Properties, and tell it where to log in the "Automatically log to this file" field. |

| | Thank you! Is there a way to set it up so that you can get a new log every time you login? I'm sorry, I'm just so out of my depth right now, and frustrated over dead laptop. | | Top |

| Heheh, it's fine. I don't believe you can create a new file for every session, but you can easily set it up to log to a new file every day. Click the "Help" button on the Logging dialog for a full list of date characters. Here's an example:
"mylog-%Y-%m-%d.log"
Use that (or something like it) in your logging path and you'll get a new log file every day. For today's date (for my timezone at least), this would produce "mylog-2010-05-08.log". |

| I went in and used your example for my file to log to. And while I don't get an error message, and the program does show that I am logging, it is not producing a log file in the logs folder, which is where the default is set to.
Okay, I found them. It is logging, BUT, it is logging to the main MUClient folder and not into the logs folder, even though I have that set as the default. | | Top |

| | You might want to try having a full (absolute) path for the logging, rather than just a filename. Like from C:\ all the way to logs\mylogs-timestamp.log. You can use the Browse button to do that easily, then just tack the filename you want at the end afterwards. |

| OMG OMG OMG, you my good man are an absolute genius! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Your solution worked perfectly, AND using your absolute paths, I was able to have it log each world to it's own folder. | | Top |
