5.3.  Error Console

The Error console offers more possibilities than the single «GIMP Message». This is a log of all errors occurring while GIMP is running. You can save all this log or only a selected part.

5.3.1.  Activating the Dialog

The «Error Console» dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section Sezione 2.3, «Pannelli e finestre agganciabili» for help on manipulating it.

You can access it:

  • from an image menu: Windows → Dockable Dialogs → Error Console;

  • from the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking on and selecting Add Tab → Error Console.
