I found the DebugDialog code but was confused when setting dialogs.debug to 1 in preferences.xml didn't show the dialog.&nbsp; So I changed the code in inkscape.cpp, line 573:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (use_gui == TRUE &amp;&amp; prefs_get_int_attribute(&quot;
dialogs.debug&quot;, &quot;redirect&quot;, DEFAULT_LOG_REDIRECT))<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inkscape::UI::Dialogs::DebugDialog::getInstance()-&gt;captureLogMessages();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inkscape::UI::Dialogs::DebugDialog::showInstance();
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br><br><br>Is this the right way to do this?<br><br>Adam<br><br>
