Open the log folder to grab multiple files

Use this page to open the directory that contains AetherSDR's log files in your operating system's file browser, so you can copy, attach, or archive multiple log files at once.

Before you start

• No radio connection is required.
• Know where you want to copy the files (local folder, email attachment, issue tracker upload).

Steps

1. Click Help > Support... to open the Support & Diagnostics dialog.
2. Click Open Log Folder.

Your OS file browser opens directly to the log directory. From there, select and copy whichever files you need.

Tips

• The log path label at the top of the dialog shows the full path to the current log file, so you know which directory will open before you click.
• If you want only the current log file rather than the entire folder, check the log path label and navigate there manually.
• To capture a clean log before grabbing files, use Clear Log to truncate the current file, reproduce the problem, then click Open Log Folder.
• The Log file size indicator near the log viewer shows the current size of the active log file.

The log viewer displays the most recent 2000 lines from the active log file. Use these controls to manage the log display:
