Log file name

[johnfaris]

I have a windows service that uses a DLL called MasterImportProcessor.dll. For some reason the logfile produced by EurekaLog has the name MASTER~1.elf. Any ideas why the filename is getting truncated in this way? It is strange because it seems to be using DOS (8 character) filenames, but other dlls apps I use have more than 8 character names and get given a proper log file name.

Thanks.

I've seen a similar thing to happen with my own logging, when used from
a COM server, instantiated by a client. Application.ExeName (equals to
ParamStr(0) in Delphi) contains the short name in this case (an my log
name generated from that also), but if I launch the app manually,
Application.ExeName (and the log name) contains the long name...

I have just fixed this little bug in the last EurekaLog 5.1.1 RC 2.

Try it and tell back to me your result, ok? ;)

How did you do it (what was the problem)?

Now the Log File name is stored in long format (not old DOS 8.3 format). :)

So you convert it in the code to ensure that it is using the long format?

I have compiled the new version into my application but I'm still waiting for an Exception to occur so that I can see if the problem is fixed :D

Will let you know as soon as I get one!

This issue is resolved now thanks! Interestingly it also uses the old style dll name in the exception message e.g.

"Access violation at address 07DA8091 in module 'MASTER~1.DLL'. Read of address 07DF4000."
