Fix comming soon.....
Help file for backup application.
Application Features
- Highly configurable.
- GUI shows activity.
.....
Download and Install
There is really no install program. Currently the application is intended for those who have at least a little familiarity with Python coding and can just insert the downloaded code into their development environment and run it. Code not yet available.
How To:...
Goal
This is how I use the program, you could use it differently:
Put a short Python script in a directory. When this is double clicked start the GUI for the backup program set up to backup the directory to another directory either on the current disk or another disk.
General
- Edit the parameter file: Use your development environment for Python or a text editor to edit parameters.py. See also: The section below, Configuration Files For Python. I have a button on the GUI for this.
- Install: see section above.
- Debug: see section below.
- Quick Restart of the application: Not in this app, just shutdown and restart.
- Use your preferred text editor. In the parameter file, see below.
- Using the GUI see: ClipBoard GUI

How to Use the Parameter File
See: Configuration Files For Python
Editing of the parameters.py file
- See above in Download and Install
- Enable your favorite editor to work with the application.
- self.ex_editor = r"D:\apps\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" # use r" or the backslashes will not work, or you can use forward slashes instead; they may be "wrong" in Windowd, but they work.
- Lots of other settings:
- Read the comments in parameters.py and change as desired. If a setting does not work let me know.
- If you mess up.
- Re download and get back to the original parameter file.
The GUI
see: ClipBoard GUI
Debugging
There are several application outputs that may be useful for debugging.
- Watch the GUI
- Check the Python console.
- Look at the python log file ( use the GUI button <Edit Log> ( specify your editor in parameters.py first ) or use your editor on the default name of the log file, by default: clipboard.py_log.
Most issues will probably be missing libraries, parameters.py issues, or just bugs in my code (email me ).
