You can also run the apps in Debug mode (selectable in the Application menu) and send us the log files after a failed session. Note that Debug involves additional processing and will result in slower project loading and redrawing, so before you select Debug mode we recommend you Close all but 1 or 2 projects (you can always reopen them later from the User Projects List under the Home tab).
After any error in Debug mode, before you restart the app, zip up the logging folder and send it to us. The location of the logging folder depends on your OS and version:
In Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10:
C:/Users/[user_ID]/AppData/Roaming/com.goalscape.app.Goalscape[Online or Desktop]/Local Store/logging
If you do not see the AppData folder in your account, it is because it is Hidden. To unhide it: select your user_ID folder, click View > Options > Change folder and search options, then in the popup select the View tab and check 'Show hidden files, folders and drives'.
In Windows XP:
C:/Documents and Settings/Users/[user_ID]/Application Data/Adobe/AIR/Local Store/com.goalscape.app.Goalscape[Online or Desktop]/logging
or
C:/Documents and Settings/Users/[user_ID]/Application Data/com.goalscape.app.Goalscape[Online or Desktop]/Local Store/logging
If you do not see the Application Data folder in your account, it is because it is Hidden. To unhide it: right-click on your user_ID folder, select View and set the checkmark 'Show hidden files and folders'.
In macOS (any version):
[user_home]/Library/Application Support/com.goalscape.app.Goalscape[Online or Desktop]/Local Store/logging
If you do not see the Library folder in your account, it is because it is Hidden (this is the default setting in macOS 10+). So you will need to Unhide your Library before you will be able to find the logging files. Here’s how to display hidden files Mac with a shortcut:
Open any folder in Finder
Press Command + Shift + Period
See the hidden files appear in the folder
If this does not work, try the following:
1 Click the Spotlight icon (magnifying glass top right of your screen)
2 Enter 'terminal' and click the 'Terminal' option when offered
3 In Terminal, enter the following text:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
**Then press Enter.**
The next time you go into Finder, your Library folder and its subfolders will be visible and available.
- Screenshots are always useful!
Thanks for your patience and cooperation.
