Attempted to open a "%" dialog when running silently

[YetiNZ]

I have the following script:

log normal append:"log.log"
load "ftp://user:[email protected]:1234" "D:\path"
filter "test.ftp;-*\"
criteria size timestamp:60sec;IgnoreDST
sync create-empty mirror:left->right
option confirm:yes-to-all

, which I call with the command:

"C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 4\BCompare.exe" "@script.txt" /closescript /silent

and I get the following in the log:

1/12/2015 3:00:14 p.m.  >> log normal append:"log.log"
1/12/2015 3:00:14 p.m.  >> load "ftp://user:********@ftp.sitɓ韼׋  鱌¯劀ɓ頤׋  ꗘ¯劀ɓ뽜ּ  Ꝩ¯劀ɓꌜׁ  ꪘ¯劀ɓ

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

Silent suppresses all dialogs, including error messages or prompts. There may be a security prompt you need to Connect And Remember once for your specific server.

Please remove silent, then try again as that will give more feedback. Once it is working without silent, we can then add that back in for regular running.

If you can let us know which dialog you are hitting, please post a screenshot. We can then help improve the error message.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the response.

Attached is what appears when I run without /silent - it is the Enter Password dialog, with the password already populated, and if I click OK everything works successfully.

I would think that with option confirm:yes-to-all that this dialog would get accepted when running with /silent?

Thanks for that info and update. This is actually fixed in the most recent release of BC 4.1.2. You can update to any 4.x update for free as a 4.x user, from our website or the Help menu -> Check for Updates.
