Is there any extended log.txt available for inspecting crashes? Since upgrading to 2.4.0 I see more crashes than before. Nothing dramatic but I’d like to understand what’s up. The last lines of my log.txt usually look pretty innocent…

What OS? On a Mac check the Console app (in Utilities folder) for Rack crash dumps. On Win check the Event log, may have some info. Linux logs are in /etc/log directory if I recall correctly.

Where do I find event.log in Win?

there is an events app, search for it if not in start menu somewhere (not used win for ages, so a bit rusty there)

Rack doesn’t make one, or an extended log, only the log.txt in the Rack user folder.

If you’re looking for the Windows event logs, hit the Start menu, type “Event” and the Event Viewer app pops up. This will only have the default app events because Rack doesn’t log Windows events itself. But, you might find some hints there.
