#16 Unhandled Exception - File In Use

[Brian]

Kind of defeats the purpose of tail if I can't tail a log that is being written.

(Also, please add an option to disable checks for new versions so I don't get the popup error message every time due to my firewall blocking your connection.)

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'd:\website\amp\httpd\logs\error.log' because it is being used by another process.

Hi. The option to disable the software update version is not implemented yet.

I will add an extra parameter in the application settings in order to enable or disable software update checks.

For the exception you mentioned to me, it seems that the input log file (that looks like a web server log file), it's maybe locked by another process.

I'll investigate anyway in the code in order to find out a solution for that, ok?

Stay in touch. I'll give you feedback regarding your issue with this ticket.

Thanks

It seems that this error is still not corrected. That is a pity. I could use this program very much.
