As I troll frequent the forum I've taken to having a notepad file open with frequently dispensed information in it for quick copying. I'm just getting started and I'm wondering what links/file locations you find yourself frequently having to lookup.
Here's what I have so far.

i have been to this page numerous times and I still come away not knowing what the heck to do! It is written a bit to brief and techish, on many fronts, for this dude. Nothing bad is meant by that, other than it does not help me, in slow-down-smell-the-roses-mode, on how I enable logging for Logos.

I've clarified the wording in some of the sections of that page which should help you know how to enable logging permanently. Come back at me if it's still not clear enough to you. It's beyond the scope of that page to explain how to edit the registry as it's generally not recommended except for advanced Windows users. However I've added a link to an article explaining all about the registry and how to edit it, along with the "standard disclaimers" about it. How you become an advanced Windows user is by spending lots of time reading articles like that and probing into all the stuff they link to...

Tech stuff can seem too abstract to me. I am fine with the editing for environmental/ecology that i do, but not computerese. Here is a problem i have on the logging wiki page
Download the file to your hard drive, then runwscript C:\Path\To\EnableLogging.js
wscript C:\Path\To\EnableLogging.js
I do NOT know what to do here. Download what file? The one I am to click above? How do I download it? And what does "wscript" mean? Do I do anything with that? And "path to enablelogging.js, what the world does that mean? Is there a specific one? do I have to type .js after what? etc.
I do just show text when i click on the enable logging links.
Thank you Rosie

I guess whoever wrote that page assumed that only advanced Windows users would need to be collecting log files to send to Logos, but it's turning out that more non-techie people are encountering bugs that need log files to debug. Sorry I missed the particular section you were having trouble with when I did my editing pass to make it a bit easier to understand for novices. I've gone back and made more changes. That's the beauty of wikis! Thank you so much for telling me explicitly what parts were confusing to you, as it helped me know how basic to make my explanations.

Yes.
Dan DeVilder: How do I download it?
How do I download it?
Right-click on it, choose "Save Target As..." -- I've explained in more detail on the wiki.
Dan DeVilder: And what does "wscript" mean? Do I do anything with that?
And what does "wscript" mean? Do I do anything with that?
It is a Windows command that runs a script. You have to type wscript at a command prompt in order to run it (like old DOS commands; I don't know if you ever used DOS before Windows came along), followed by the name of script you are trying to run. I've explained in the wiki file how to open a Windows command prompt.
Dan DeVilder: And "path to enablelogging.js, what the world does that mean? Is there a specific one? do I have to type .js after what? etc.
And "path to enablelogging.js, what the world does that mean? Is there a specific one? do I have to type .js after what? etc.
A "path" describes the location of where a file is found on your hard disk. Folders on your computer are hierarchical, so when you see a "full path" like "C:\Users\Dan DeVilder\My Documents\sermon.doc" it means: 1) the file is on your C drive; 2) the file is called sermon.doc; 3) the "path" to the file starts in the folder "Users" which is at the "root" (imagine it like a tree), inside of which there is another folder called "Dan DeVilder" inside of which there is another folder called "My Documents" and that's where the file is located. So the "path to EnableLogging.js" would depend on where you chose to save it. As you'll see in my explanation on the wiki, the shorter you can make that path, the less typing you'll have to do at the next step, so it is best to save it in the root (the full path of which is simply "C:\"). I explain how to do this in the wiki.
You have to type the full path to the Java script file (not just its filename) so that wscript can find it to run it. And yes, you have to include the .js as it is part of the filename.
Let me know if you can get it to work now after my explanation. It feels somewhat wordy and over-the-top to me in terms of explaining how to use Windows, but I don't want anyone to feel left out.
if you copy the folowing lines into notepad (assuming vista)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logos4\Logging]"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logos4\Logging]"Enabled"=dword:00000001
save as "Enablelogging.reg"
Double click (accept the change) and logging will be enabled...

Dominic, thanks! That is much better than having people go hacking around in their registry without knowing what they're doing. I've added it to the wiki page.
and if you have Win 7, is there a difference?
Dan DeVilder:and if you have Win 7, is there a difference?
Thanks Dominic, et al. I have now enabled logging, should I ever need it.
Rosie, thank you for all your detail and help, too. I do remember DOS. I also, believe it or not, wrote a program for Basic, once. In high school. :) Did all right, but my programming efforts stopped with that.
I understand basic path names and what that means, but the wscript thing was new, and not exactly knowing if I had to have a specific path, or how it would know what file to go to, whatever, that all was a bit confusing (not really "how would it know what file to go to----ahhh, nevermind the explanation. Logging is on. And all the men in the pacific northwest are happy. "I am a lumberjack now . . . "
Very useful thread. Thanks to all of you. I copied already all the links to my OneNote.

I'd never heard of wscript either, but it just looked like a command-line command to me from the context of how it was being described. I guess some of this sort of becomes intuitive after a while of being around computer lingo. Glad you're a happy lumberjack, and you're OK, and now you can work all day... ;-)

Rosie Perera:Here are a few more I thought of:
I've added these. I put the wiki FAQ on the Troubleshooting section because it deals almost exclusively with problems.
I also added a few Mac links
It just struck me, a page on the wiki needs to be added to answer "I've just installed L4 can I delete L3?" I've lost track how many people's first post was to ask that question . If I have time to create it later I will, however, if someone beats me to it I won't complain...
EDIT: I'll hold off posting the new list just yet to see if any other links get mentioned. Would it be helpful if I upload my .txt file or should I just copy and paste later?
