Dear Allin,

I think something was wrong with some of my files in GRETL. I created a new gretl file with the same data from excel and for this new file, command log works. It seems that in some step while working with the files, gretl does something wrong and creates these virtual folders that make command log stop working.  Although I did not find the source of the problem It seems a problem with the file.

Many thanks,

  3.- When saving a file and clicking on the folder gretl at the left menu (see the snapshot below) I find all those folders that I can not find using windows file explorer. Inside these folders there are two gretl files: "session.inp" and "settings.inp"

Hope this helps.

Please tell us what version of gretl you're running (you can find
that under /Help/About gretl). It may also be helpful to know what
your Windows username is. (The name of directory in which the
command log should be found starts with "\users\<username>".)
