Subject  :  /Fo option in 2.82.8d
Size(KB) :  1


There is a suggestion in the Help (in the discussion of the /o 
options) to avoid having the list of copied filenames appear in the 
log file (so that errors and warnings aren't overwhelmed). The 
suggestion was to use /F to get a separate list of copied files.

The help says that "/Fo" will get the file list written to a 
different file than the /oA log file. But if I use /? to see what 
my /Fo line does, I get this:

[start copy of DOS prompt interaction]
U:\>xxcopy /Fotest.xxx /?

XXCOPY == Pro Edition == Ver 2.82.8d (c)1995-2003 Pixelab, Inc.

------------------------------------------------------------
Detailed Switch Parameters
File name display and save ----------------
[x] /F0 Displays source file name only
[ ] /F Displays full source and destination file names
[ ] /Fo Displays the list of files copied and saves it to a file
------------------------------------------------------------
[end copy of DOS prompt interaction]

Either the /? option isn't working or /Fo doesn't do what I want.

Perhaps I don't need the list of copied files (as I do my 
first /CLONE the target directory is what got copied) but I was 
surprised that my /Fo spec seems to be being ignored.

Your thoughts? Thanks.
