Yes, that's the case. I upgraded to the last version.

Yes, my example was very special, as I had just resetted the
capture.log. What I mean is, that when I use the -i parameter, the data
analysis per tag wouldn't be shown afterwards. That is not a big
problem, I wanted to create daily reports, starting with "General
information" and afterwards "Total time per tag"-Information. How could
I do that?

I will try it out. And I also saw, that somebody tried to import
arbtt-data in Hamster. That sounds interesting.
It's a bit repeated, but I believe, that this program could be very
useful for a lot of persons. For now it lacks of a tool to analyse the
reported data without the need to learn the syntax. The question behind
that is, what to use it for.

I thought about that because of the corrupted file mentioned and to keep
just the necessary data after some weeks of recording. Especially when
analyzing data with other programs it would be nice to work just with
the relevant timespan. But I still have to try out the export function.
