Tips and Troubleshooting
Common situations and how to resolve them.
- I can't see any logs: Check whether Pause is on. If the pause icon on the toolbar is highlighted, turn it off.
- Search results don't change: Searching the same keyword reuses the existing tab. A different keyword creates a new tab.
- I can't tell tabs apart in dark mode: The selected tab has a 2px accent strip on top and a background highlight.
- I want to keep the bookmark pane from appearing: It is off at startup by default and is shown
only when you turn it on directly with
Ctrl+B. - I want to reset settings: Delete
%AppData%\LogMgr\settings.jsonand restart. - WM_COPYDATA is not being received: The window class names the sender looks for are
TF_LogMain(ANSI) andTF_LogMainW(Unicode). Both windows are created automatically at app startup. - Does it freeze when opening a large file?: No. Loading is asynchronous, so the tab appears immediately and progress is shown as a percentage in the header. Closing the tab cancels loading immediately.
- There are too many spam logs: Turning on
Collapse Duplicate Burstsin theViewmenu collapses consecutive identical messages into a single representative row, showing only the count as×N. - I want to see only a specific time range: Turn on
Timelinein theViewmenu and drag the left and right handles on the top bar chart. Surge periods are immediately visible as bar heights. - I want to know which function logs the most: Refresh on the
Navigationtab in the right side panel to get a frequency table of files and functions.
