Cannot save - I get the message "Error on contacting timimi host" #46

Hi

I'm a new user with a fresh install. When I try save I get the message "Error on contacting timimi host"

Update:

It seems that the program could not install to the default path C:\Users\username\Roaming

So I changed the path and then it did install. Now when I save I get a different error

"error while saving data by Timimi host. Please check error.log for details."

I'm not sure where the error.log file is

Resolved - I figured out that the error.log is actually contained in timimi.log (consider correcting your error message to point to the correct log file?). The issue was that I had the incorrect path set for saving the backup.. I corrected this but it still didn't work (with the same error).. So I removed the save path entirely allowing it to save to the default path.. It now works.

With regards to original issue where it failed to save to the \Roaming folder, I wonder if this is because I use a company PC with security restrictions? If so, others may experience the same issue so may be worth making a note about this in your installation guide.

Yeah sorry about the confusion between error.log and timimi.log. Initially it was named error.log itself. Then I realized other applications might want to use the same name. So I switched the actual filename to "timimi.log" but forgot to correct the notification.

Will mention the writing permission issue in docs. Thanks.
