Reporting
Whenever you find a bug in one of our apps, we'll be more than happy to squash it for you. To investigate the matter, however, we usually need some more information from you:
1) Let us know what OS are you running (you can find this
information by going into the Apple menu → About This
Mac).
2) Let us know what hardware are you running (most importantly the
CPU type - PPC/Intel/Intel 64 bit). If you don't know what CPU type
your computer's running, let us know the computer type and the year
you've bought it.
3) Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/), enter
defaults write com.fuelcollective.##appname##
FCLoggingEnabled -bool YES (where ##appname## is either
permute, snippet, swatch,
eon or contents, depending on what app
you're having trouble with, resulting in e.g. defaults write
com.fuelcollective.permute FCLoggingEnabled -bool YES) and
hit enter (the application should not be running while doing
this).
This enables a debug mode with more Console logging - please,
see Console in /Applications/Utilities/ and report the app's output
here (select lines with the app's name in them and use the 'Save
As...' command in the File menu). When you're done with the
logging, enter defaults write com.fuelcollective.##appname##
FCLoggingEnabled -bool NO in Terminal and hit enter (this
disables the otherwise unnecessary logging).
4) If part of the problem is that the application's not responding, open Acitvity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities/ as well), select the application in the table and select Sample Process from the View menu. You can save the report into a file and then attach it here to your post so you don't have to copy-paste it.
It will much speed up the bug fixing process. Thank you!
