Porting FB 4 Projects to FinalBuilder 5

FinalBuilder Bugs

Hi,

While proting my FinalBuilder 4 projects to FinalBuilder 5 I ran into the following

1. Open a FB4 project in FinalBuilder 5
2. Save As FinalBuilder 5 Project to the same folder as the FB4 Project
3. Keep this Project open in FinalBuilder 5
4. Open FB4 project in FinalBuilder 4, a Warning message states:
   Unable to load project
   Error: Unable to read log file: Log file is locked by another FinalBuilder instance

This error will also occure when the FB4 Project is opened by FinalBuilder 4 and then by FinalBuilder 5. After a little research I found out that it concerned the .lck file. I can't remember this happening when I was porting FB3 projects to FinalBuilder 4

Regards Alfred

Hi Alfred

The .lck file was new to FinalBuilder 4, it is used by the embedded database engine used for logging. The database engine allows us to do a lot more with the logging that was previously possible.
