Locating the Debug Log File¶
Starting with the 3.0 release, Sonic Visualiser writes a debug log file to disc during use; this can be valuable to help track down some types of problem with the application. If you find that Sonic Visualiser crashes, locks up, or behaves in other unexpected ways, you might want to save a copy of the log file and consider sending it to us with a bug report. Note that the file only records a log for a single run of the program: it's recreated again from scratch every time you start Sonic Visualiser.
The log file is called sv-debug.log and is located in different places depending on your operating system:
| Windows | Within your AppData folder, in a subfolder called sonic-visualiser/Sonic Visualiser/logThe AppData folder is hidden by default in Windows, but you can get to it by clicking the Start button, typing %AppData% (including the percent signs) and hitting Return - this should open a Windows Explorer window on the folder, where you will see the sonic-visualiser entry. |
| Mac | |
| Linux | Within your home directory, in .local/share/sonic-visualiser/Sonic Visualiser/log |
