default logger folder in d+k software #7

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The issue:
In the D+K software, the default location to choose the download folder 
(toplevel_processing_logger_path) is "C:\Users\wfrosch\". This means that when 
the GUI is run on the local machines in TZ the backup process that moves 
everything in the toplevel_processing_logger_path to toplevel_temp_path before 
processing is slowed down as there is too much stuff in "C:\Users\wfrosch\".

Possible solutions:

1) specify download folder in D+K software. In my view not a good solution, as 
this was originally specified to be toplevel_processing_logger_path but was 
changed at some stage (potentially by the users) and led to non-functionality 
of the processing chain as it was broken at the very first step.

2) adjust ki_process_dkstation_level0000_gui so that not all files located in 
toplevel_processing_logger_path are moved to the backup. Possibly by first 
isolating only relevant files. 

3) locate and move relevant files from 'C:\Users\wfrosch\' to 
toplevel_processing_logger_path before running the gui.

4) any other ideas?

For now we have pointed D+K download location to 
toplevel_processing_logger_path (D:\uikistations\logger). Though, again, this 
is not ideal!!

Regarding option 2/3: 

Why is other stuff located at "C:\Users\wfrosch\"? Are the logger files stored 
in the same folder than e. g. executables from the software? And what is 
"slowed down" in seconds?

What are relevant files?
One can adjust the copytree method for the backup by 
"copytree(source, destination, ignore=ignore_patterns('*.dat', 'logger*'))"
but the relevant files must have some kind of pattern which does not change 
over time. Do they have such a pattern?

Another problem: What is the storage capacity on C:\? Is it sufficient for the 
datasets?
