Log file #204

Closed indrakaw closed 4 years ago

indrakaw commented 5 years ago

By default errors show on screen. It's possible to redirect output to a file, but it isn't effective. My suggestion is an option to enable progress logging on a file in output directory, eg errors.log or just logs.txt.

tee is good enough for me, but I suppose this would still be useful. Especially since the current logging uses a lot of \rs to overwrite previous output.

Normally I would copy what's on screen then paste it. :p

Looking back at this, I bet the cause of your issue is that this script writes to both stdout and stderr. To get both status messages and errors, do

python tumblr_backup.py [...other arguments...] >log.txt 2>&1

Note the 2>&1 at the end. That should work on all operating systems.
