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.json and restart.
  • WM_COPYDATA is not being received: The window class names the sender looks for are TF_LogMain (ANSI) and TF_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 Bursts in the View menu 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 Timeline in the View menu 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 Navigation tab in the right side panel to get a frequency table of files and functions.
