If you face some problem while you're using this application, feel free to report it as the issue. Of course, I intend to investigate its cause with full might. However, to find the cause, more information sometimes may be needed. That is, the Console Log is necessary to fix its problem.

This page describes how to capture the Console Log.

0. Change Debug log level

First, you need to change the debug log level with the following steps:

  1. Launch "File System for Windows".
  2. Click the configuration icon (like the gear image) on the left of bottom.
  3. Change the Log Level to "Trace"

After changing this configuration item, reproduce the issue you have.

1. Open the Extension Page

Fill in the URL below in the address bar of the Chrome Web browser.

chrome://extensions

2. Click the Background Context Link

Find this application from the extension page, then click the "background page" link.

Note: The image above is for "File System for Dropbox", but you need to click the "background page" link of this "File System for Windows" app.

When its link clicked, the DevTools will be opened.

3. Capture the Console Log

Click the "Console" tab on the top menu.

Capture the Console outouts as an image, or Copy them as a text.

Finally, register the problem as a new issue to the issue list page.
