BUG: Log Debug Messages #123

Closed Cyber5imon closed 10 months ago

Cyber5imon commented 12 months ago

Log Debug Messages doesn't seem to do anything. Also there seems to be very little information going to the log. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing or is this a bug? image

This is all I am getting in the console window image

Cyber5imon commented 12 months ago

Here is more detail: I have a portable install located in a folder with valid write permissions. Very little data is being sent to the log, even with Debug checked.

Debug messages look fine to me.

OTOH, error message about read-only portable installation should be in the logs/ folder, not console.

Cyber5imon commented 11 months ago

All the log seems to do is indicate when the program is started and when new versions are checked.

I guess I expected a lot more in the log, such as: Programs Discovered / Blocked / Allowed Blocked Connections Options Changed / Saved (INI File Changes)

For debugging I would think just about every action would be logged so you see what may be causing the problem you are having.

The main reason I would use the log is when an application is being blocked/allowed and I'm trying to track down why it is happening. Finding the rule/cause of the block/allowance can be quite convoluted and time consuming.

Cyber5imon commented 11 months ago

I assume there is no point in providing any more logs, here is the remaining logs for today.

One issue I have noticed is that when Show log messages in console is checked, timestamps are not included in the console messages.

Yes, it'll be helpful to have..

The main reason I would use the log is when an application is being blocked/allowed and I'm trying to track down why it is happening.

Please use Statistics window: "Blocked Connections" tab. The "Dir." column will show a blocking reason.

Options Changed / Saved (INI File Changes)

I want to add debug output for these actions, so you can see errors in console.

And then I can close this issue.
