Messages and Errors tab


Tools > Options > Messages & Errors

This tab enables you to configure various options for the errors and messages that are saved to an external file. These messages are also displayed in the Log Window.

Main Log File Name

Log root directory This field displays the directory in which the application specific log file will be stored - by default this is set to your TEMP or TMP environment variable, with the addition of:

CAST\CAST\<version_number>

If you change this location, please make sure that the target directory already exists. If it does not, the application will save a temporary .TXT log file to:

%TEMP%\CAST\CAST\<version_number>\logs

Log main file name This field displays the name of the log file. By default, this will be "<application_name>" with the .castlog extension.

You can choose a different file name should you require - click the Browse button and a standard Windows Open dialog box will be displayed enabling you to choose the new file.

This log file will contain information in the same formatted style as displayed in the Log Window.

Log Options

Truncate file When checked, this command empties the log file when the product is executed.

Notes

  • This tab configures the settings for the .castlog file. Log information is also displayed in the Log Window - see Log Window for more information.
