[idea] Better dump file path layout

Open xianglin1998 opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

I think it's very troublesome to put dump files and executable files together. In some cases, a good file path arrangement can make users happy, especially when deleting or compressing all dumps.

I recommend keeping the dump in a separate subdirectory, such as "/dumps" (when not installed) relative to the executable. Or relative to the user working directory.

: ) Thanks.

Look, complex mixture.

Yes, not a new idea and its already in the pipe line, with the new preference command. In the next step we will enable a user to have a default save path for dumps, traces and configurable within the preference.json file. see https://github.com/RfidResearchGroup/proxmark3/blob/master/client/src/preferences.c#L59 We are having a discussion about how to make it the nicest user experince, and how not to break expectations of a command execution when running from shell like ./pm3 -c 'data save xxxx'

Wow, It's a cool implementation. What can I do for you?

First is finishing the libpm3 branch. Which will unify how to call pm3 client. This will affect your current android implementation located at client/android folder.
Then save paths or redirect printf calls will be addressed.
