logs not deleting

the list size is not the logfile size. It is the size of the backup archive.

that wasn’t my issue — the issue (stated as the thread topic) is that it is not actually deleting the old logs first — it is keeping the oldest and just the single most recent. also, that most recent one is unlike those old ones — it is very short, is classified as “log only,” and contains no detail (as shown). the old ones have lots of detail and were classified as “DB Files.”

here’s one of the old logs:

Found and fixed for next release.

i upgraded a couple times since you said it was fixed (now at 3.1.1) and the behavior is exactly the same. i no longer see a caption that says oldest logs will be deleted first, did you “fix” this by just deleting that caption? or do i need to manually delete my 49 old logs before the fix will work?

also, just noticed that on the “backups” page, i have 606 items. i like everything to be on one page, so that’s fine with me. but it says there are 31 pages of items — each page shows all 606. under “screen options” it is set to show only 20 at a time, seems to be confused…

Can you send me some screenshots? Mail it to d dot huesken at inpsyde dot com

ok, i mailed you.

for the public record:
now it looks like my logs have been working correctly since feb 21, i
must not have gotten the upgrade earlier than that, even though i
thought i had. thanks for the fix!

i sent screenshots showing the pagination issue of the backups that
i mentioned. all 31 pages have all 612 items, even though it’s
supposed to be paginating every 20. (minor issue — i actually prefer
having them all on one page).

-e

The pagination bug is fixed in the next release thanks @eflister
