# Logs and Problems

New in 2.0.8. The bottom of the main window holds one panel with two tabs: **Logs**, which reports imports, builds and fixes as they happen, and **Problems**, which lists every finding the pre-build checks have for the pack. Both are free.

## Opening the panel

| Action | Default shortcut |
| --- | --- |
| Show or hide logs and problems | `Ctrl+J` |
| Show problems (hides the panel again if Problems is already showing) | `Ctrl+Shift+M` |

Both shortcuts can be changed in **Settings** > **Keyboard Shortcuts**. You can also open the command palette with `Ctrl+K` and run **Show problems (Error List)** or **Show or hide logs and problems**.

The panel's tabs carry live counts, so you can read them without opening anything: **Problems** shows its error and warning numbers, **Logs** its errors.

- **Resize** the panel by dragging the handle above it. The height is remembered.
- **Collapse** it to a single bar. Collapsed, the bar still shows the latest log line and how many items are blocked or need attention.
- **Maximise** it to take the whole workspace height for a moment. This is not remembered, so the app never opens to a full-screen log.

## Problems

Problems is the Error List for the whole pack: every finding from the [pre-build checks](/cloth-tool/about-the-tool/validation) in one place.

### Two ways to read it

- **Group by item** (the default): one collapsible block per garment, with its name, slot and counts on the header. Use **Expand all** and **Collapse all** to open or close every group.
- **Show as a table**: columns **Severity**, **Message**, **Item**, **Check** and **Location**. Click a column header to sort by it.

When many items share one problem, each of them still gets its own row, with its own **Fix** and **Ignore**.

### Filters

| Filter | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Search problems** | Narrows the list to findings that match the text. |
| Severity (**Error**, **Warning**, **Info**) | Shows or hides each severity. |
| **Check** | Limits the list to one check, or **Every check**. |
| **Item** | Limits the list to one garment, or **Every item**. |
| **Show ignored** | Brings back findings that were ignored on purpose. The button shows how many there are. |

**Clear the filters** resets them all. **Re-check** runs the checks again.

### The summary

The top of the tab says what stands between you and a build, for example "2 errors stop the build", the number of warnings and notes, and how many findings are ignored. When nothing is blocking, it reads **Nothing stops the build**. A clean pack shows **No problems found.**

:::hint{type="warning" title="Errors block the build"}
The build will not start while an error stands. Fix it, or ignore it on purpose. See [Validation](/cloth-tool/about-the-tool/validation) for how ignoring works.

### Working from the keyboard

Click a row to select its item and open the item's **Findings** tab. With the list focused:

| Key | Action |
| --- | --- |
| `Up` / `Down` | Move between rows. |
| `Home` / `End` | Jump to the first or last row. |
| `Enter` | Run the row's fix. If there is no fix, the item and its findings are shown instead. |
| `Delete` | Ignore the finding. A warning is ignored straight away; an error asks you to confirm first. |
| `Left` / `Right` | Collapse or expand the current item's group (in **Group by item**). |

Some findings cannot be ignored at all, because the pack would not contain what the list says it does.

## Logs

The **Logs** tab is the app's live log for this session.

| Control | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Levels** | Turns **Errors**, **Warnings**, **Done** and **Info** lines on or off. |
| **Search the log** | Shows only matching lines. |
| **Wrap long lines** | Wraps lines instead of cutting them off. |
| **Copy what is shown** | Copies the lines that currently pass your filters. Each line also has **Copy this line**. |
| **Save to a file…** | Saves the shown lines to a file you choose. |
| Clear | Clears the panel. The log file on disk keeps everything. |

A line that repeats is folded into one, marked **Repeated N times**, with the time of the first one.

To find the full log files, use **Open logs folder** in the menu under the KOJA logo.

## Report a problem

**Report a problem** sends a bug report to KOJA without you having to find or copy anything. Open it from the menu under the KOJA logo, or from the command palette (`Ctrl+K`).

:::steps
### Describe it
Fill in **What went wrong** (a short title) and, if you like, **Anything else worth knowing**.

### Check what is attached
The dialog lists what goes with the report:
- the app build and your plan;
- your Discord name, so the team can reply (only when you are signed in);
- the end of this session's log, and the newest crash report if there is one.

It never sends your licence key or any of your project files.

### Send
Click **Send report**. If the report cannot be sent, it is saved on your PC instead, and **Open folder** shows you where.
