[WT-support] where is the mtb file?

[Albert Crespo]

Bob,
This “hidden” file issue is not going away. Thanks for helping us  in the “wilderness”  to find the way these files. 
I will be on as NH7A in ARRL DX SSB and TO5A in CQWPX so find your microphone and give me a shout!
Aloha, Al

For Win-Test 4, the binary log is kept in a .wt4 file (Win-Test 3 used .wtb).  .mtb is not used by Win-Test. 

Open Win-Test and do File | Explore | /log directory and you should see it. 

This directory is hidden by default.  If you try to use Windows Explorer rather than Win-Test to find it, you won't see it.  The method for un-hiding these deafult Windows hidden folders  is explained in the Win-Test PDF file.  Just search for the string "hidden files".

To change the default directory for news logs, Select Options | Log | New Contest File Properties.

Another problem you may have is that Windows 7 stores logs in a strange place if you are not logged on as administrator and do not use the default directory.

The easiest way to find the true location of such missing logs is to open a command prompt and do:

cd \
dir *.wt4 /b /a /s

  As a novice wintest user I am having a difficult time in understandeing how wintest handles logs.   I just finished a naqp contest with 600 qs and tr4ied to save the log--no luck  "path not recognized ......"
  tried using the CREATE LOG FILES  and got the same message...  I shut down wintest and found the adif and cabillo files  but cannot find the originaql log file *.mtb.   Where the heck does the mtb file wind up?   I cannot open the naqp ssb contest log???


  i must be missing something here----can anyone explain in swimple engliswh what is going on?   The help file is no help.
