Troubleshooting
Find out what went wrong with Diagnostics, and what to do about the common problems.
Diagnostics
Settings › Diagnostics shows what Furrget did and what went wrong, in one place:
- App log: failures of the engine and the recorder, and errors in the app, newest first.
- Meeting logs: pick a meeting to see its own log.
Copy copies a log; Show in Finder (or File Explorer) opens its folder. Keys, your home folder and anything said in a meeting are removed before a log is shown or copied, so you can paste it to [email protected] safely.
