Workspace

Here you can set an alternative location to store your project data.

By default the Log File Analyser stores projects in the following locations:

• Windows: {main drive letter}:\Users\{username}\.ScreamingFrogLogfileAnalyser\projects
• macOs: /Users/{username}/.ScreamingFrogLogfileAnalyser/projects
• Ubuntu: /home/{username}/.ScreamingFrogLogfileAnalyser/projects

When choosing an alternative location there are two things to consider, performance and size. The faster the drive, the better the Log File Analyser will perform. Choosing a network drive here is a sure way to kill performance! The Log File Analyser requires at least as much space as the size of the logs you are importing.

Troubleshooting

• If you get a red X rather than a green tick next to Workspace Directory, hover over it to see the error message.
• If the error message includes “OverlappingFileLockException” this means you are using an ExFAT/MS-DOS (FAT) file systems which is not supported on macOS due to JDK-8205404. You’ll need to choose a drive with a different format or reformat your drive to a different format to resolve this. You can use the Disk Utility application to view the current format and reformat the drive.
