Text Tutorial

(NOTE: The step of downloading an nlog.config is no longer required as of one of the Alphas in the teens).

Step 1: Prepare Your Logs for Submission

  • First, pin your Logging folder (/Users/<yourusername>/Library/Application Data/Logos4/Logging) to the Dock.
  • Navigate to the icon on your Dock, and open the logos4.log
  • From the Console, navigate to the file titled, “Console Messages” (click “Show Log List) if you cannot see it by default.
  • Select from the menu File>Save a copy as... and save it to your desktop
  • Now, open your Logging folder in Finder
  • Drag the “Console Messages.log” from your desktop into the open folder.
  • Select these four files indexer.log, Logos4.log, SyncClientErrors.log and the Console Message.log
  • Right click the three files and select the option to “Compress 4 items”
  • Drag your file Archive onto your desktop.

Step 2: Make Report

  • Open Safari and navigate the the Logos 4 Mac forum.
  • Click, “Write a New Post”
  • Enter the description of what you were doing when L4 crashed.
  • Attach your Archive file from the Desktop using the media button shown with a small “paper clip”
  • Then “Post” your bug report.

Cameron, 

1. Do you know why I can see the video embedded on the Editing screen, but why it wont show on the front-end?

2. If you feel the instructions and video are up to your standards, may I suggest you pin this thread to the top of the forum and also edit the main FAQ to link to these instructions?

Blessings

OK Joe. You can't embed...

I think you have to upload....

I don't know for certain, but I can find out. I suspect we may be stripping certain HTML tags on the server side when the "post" button is pressed.

I was in the process of doing both when you posted this. It's now done, and the new FAQ includes a few other bits that the old one didn't.

Joe,

Thanks a million for this.  You are a lifesaver for me in working with the L4 Alpha's.

Thanks Joe, there needs to be one of these built for the PC Beta as well. I about went crazy trying to get it into logging mode.

I must be in trouble, because I can't find the Logos4 folder nor the Logging folder as you indicated where they should be. Any suggestions?

If you are still not finding it, make sure you are looking in the correct directory.  NOT the Mac HD folder, but the one for your user account (your Home folder).  Like this....
