ConEmu log files

Why they are needed

When user reports a problem, frequently, developer needs more information than user may tell. ConEmu may write internal information in text form into log files.

How to start logging

Run ConEmu.exe or ConEmu64.exe (whatever you are using) with special switch /log. How to do that? Simpliest way is to press Win+R, type (or browse) in edit field full path to ConEmu.exe or ConEmu64.exe and append /log switch. There are also /log2, /log3 and /log4 alternatives. Larger digit - more information will be written - ConEmu will run slower.

Where log files are created

This depends of when program folder is write-allowed. For example, running as normal user any program can't write to C:\Program Files.

If program folder is locked, ConEmu will create on your desktop new folder named ConEmuLogs and write information to ConEmu*.log files there.

If program folder is write-allowed, ConEmu will create ConEmu*.log files near to executable file. Note, that there are ConEmuC.exe and ConEmuC64.exe in the ConEmu subfolder.
