HDDScan - LogFile

[ep]

I would like to start HDDScan from Scratch, select a disk to scan and save the logfile automatically. How to do it? The HDDScan.log was not generated in the directory from which I have started HDDScan when finishing the programme.

Thanks and best regards, Ernst

start help.bat
or HDDScan.exe -h

you have to create command line (bat-file, command line, sceduler etc.)
