Eric,

I noticed your recent upgrades (NICE JOB, BTW!!!) include the ability to upload SportTracks log files. I just tried to do that and it said it didn't recognize the file. I was wondering if you could either give me a hint about what I might be doing wrong or maybe look to see if it is actually working correctly. I know you said this stuff is experimental and there may be problems.

I had the same issue. I think you can only upload a SportsTrack backup file not the regular SportsTrack file. Haven't tried to do that yet.

By the way, I just tried it again........

Message says "File doesn't have the correct extension. Do you wish to continue?"

I don't know what the proper extension should be, but I am selecting the only SportTracks file I have. I am running Version 2.1.3478 of SportTracks in case that makes a difference.

In SportTracks, did you export your log to a fitlog file?

Not at it at all.

While you can upload a fitlog file, it is preferrable to upload it as a zip file to same bandwidth. That's what the importer was complaining about. I'll look into the fitlog problem tonight since it's not as urgent.

MrPHinNJ, I have looked all over in SportTracks and cannot find any option to EXPORT or to even SAVE AS a different file format. The file format of my SportTracks log has an extension..... .logbook

When I do a PROPERTIES on the file it says it is a .....SportTracks 2 Logbook File (.logbook)

Tried several different things with .zip files and no dice.......

I understand this isn't urgent at all. I just wanted to let you know that there is a bug possibly so that you can get to it when you have some time.

Thanks again for the great upgrades to the site....

I ran the export from SportTracks. Got a file I called test.fitlog.

Zipped it to get the file test.zip (containing test.fitlog)

Uploaded test.zip

If you do that do you still get the error?

MTA:

Did not read your above post

In SportTracks (I am using 2.1) go to the Activity Report screen.

Highlight the activities you want to export (use shift &/or ctrl to select multiple entries).

On the left under "Activity Reports" click Export --> Fitness Log

I'll Try to post a screenshot: (Sorry if this messes up the thread)

2017 Goals
1) Run more than 231 miles
2) Be ready for HM in the spring

MattJ..........yep, your process worked. I just figured we were supposed to upload the raw data file rather than the activity reports file. It looks like things are working well.
