+ | This was sent out to PINES-DEV and I'm reposting it here. We mention screenshots below, but a better option is to use the [[scratchpad: | ||

+ | **Subject: debugging tip for the staff client** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here's something you can add to your debugging arsenal, though it | ||
+ | might require help from your local IT staff to setup if they have your | ||
+ | system locked down. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First, make a copy of the icon/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now right-click on that new Evergreen icon/ | ||
+ | Properties; a window should show up with a field labelled Target being | ||
+ | hilighted. | ||
+ | cursor should move to the end of that previously highlighted text, the | ||
+ | last part of which should say " | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you change " | ||
+ | then hit Apply and OK, if you then completely restart the staff client | ||
+ | with that same icon/ | ||
+ | black background. | ||
+ | take a screenshot of its contents (maybe after maximizing it to full | ||
+ | size) right after any bug happens, it could help us a lot. And of | ||
+ | course liberal use of screenshots in general is much welcome. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is what the Target text should contain after you modify that | ||
+ | field, assuming a default install: | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | application.ini -console | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thanks! | ||

+ | ==== Increasing the buffer size ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Increasing the buffer size for the debug window will give us more information and make it easier to track down bugs. However, you shouldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Assuming WinXP, right-click on the titlebar for the debug window. | ||
+ | * Choose " | ||
+ | * Select the " | ||
+ | * In the " | ||
+ | * Choose " | ||
+ | * You should get a pop-up titled "Apply Properties to Shortcut" | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get the most out of the increased buffer size, you should use the clipboard instead of taking screenshots when reporting errors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Using the clipboard ==== | ||
