ClamTk not showing scan results and history

Question

Whenever I use ClamTk to scan folders, it won't show list of infected files after scanning is completed. What it shows is just a total number of scanned files and number of infected files.

How can I see which files are infected in ClamTk?

I also headed to History section and it's empty there. And /home/user/.clamtk/history folder is empty.

There is no options to set about logging and history in ClamTk GUI.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 if that means anything. Thanks!

How are you running clamtk? Are you running it as sudo clamtk or just clamtk? — Terrance, Jul 24 '17 at 17:17
@Terrance I usually run it from Launcher, so I guess it was without sudo. Then I just tried with sudo, after the scan finished the terminal gave me this: https://pastebin.com/raw/hbhZxZwi. However the history is still empty. — V412270, Jul 25 '17 at 05:40
@V412270 mine's the same and it shows all that perhaps a re-install might shake things up — George Udosen, Jul 25 '17 at 06:05

Solved by launching clamtk at terminal with

env LC_TIME=C clamtk

I resolved this problem by changing clamTk launcher and thunar custom action to this command string:

env LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 clamtk %F

So, if you edit clamtk.desktop file you could change the string:

Exec=clamtk %F

to

Exec=env LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 clamtk %F

This works fine for me.
The scanning process shows a result window and the History section contains the previous scan logs.
