About error messages and bug reports!

Post by Rickard Johansson »

Bug, issue or just strange behavior
Try to reproduce the issue and add a post to the "Bugs" forum with detailed steps to reproduce the issue. I prefer if you post bug reports in the forum.

Exception (error message)
All releases contain an inbuilt exception catcher which can create a very detailed bug report, if an error occur. You should be presented with the options either save or send the bug report.

In addition you can create a debug output file.

Debug output
If you have a startup or shutdown issue, you can log information to a file.

1. Set output options in the "\RJ TextEd\DebugOptions.txt" file.

Code: Select all

; DebugOutput
; 0 = No output
; 1 = Output to log file <AppData>\RJ TextEd\Data\DebugOutput.txt
; 2 = DebugOutputString. Use e.g. DebugView to display the output
DebugOutput=0

; LogFileAppend
; 0 = No append. Allways create a new log file at startup.
; 1 = Append. Append new debug data to old ones. NOTE! The file may become very large!
LogFileAppend=0
E.g. Set the option

DebugOutput=1

to output debug data to the file "<AppData>\RJ TextEd\Data\DebugOutput.txt" or "RJ TextEd\Data\DebugOutput.txt" in the portable version.

2. Open and review the contents of the "DebugOutput.txt" file and if it seems informative - post the contents with the bug report in the forum.
