The Logs Window in Durty Cloth Tool is a vital feature that provides detailed tracking of all actions taken within a cloth project. It helps you monitor the internal processes, changes, and events during your workflow, offering a comprehensive view of every step made throughout your modding process. The logs are automatically persisted and saved through sessions for each cloth project, ensuring no information is lost between sessions.
There are two ways to access the Logs Window in Durty Cloth Tool:
Top Navigation Menu: Navigate to "View > Logs Output" in the application's top menu to open the logs window at any time.
Bottom Log Preview Click: The most recent log entry is always displayed at the bottom of the application. Clicking on this entry will also bring up the complete Logs Window.
When opened, the Logs Window displays a scrollable list of all log entries, providing insights into every action taken in the project. This window includes:
Log Entries: Each log entry contains detailed information about an action or event that occurred in the project. These logs help you track everything from changes made to the project, file operations, optimizations, and other significant actions.
Scroll Functionality: The window is fully scrollable, allowing you to browse through extensive logs efficiently. This feature is particularly useful when working on large projects where many actions are logged over time.
Persisted Logs: Log entries are persisted across project sessions, meaning that if you close and reopen the project later, the logs from the previous sessions will still be available for review. This persistence ensures a complete history of all modifications and actions taken in the project.
The Logs Window provides detailed insights into various types of actions and events. Some of the key log categories include:
File Operations: Every time a file is added, replaced, renamed, or deleted within the project, a corresponding log entry is generated. This includes actions on both cloth drawable models and textures.
Project Changes: All changes made to the project, such as modifications to appearance items, texture optimizations, or configuration adjustments, are logged.
Optimization & Build: When optimizing cloth resources or building projects using the dynamic config builders, logs are generated to document the processes and any outcomes or errors.
Warnings & Errors: Any warnings or errors encountered during project handling will be logged, helping you identify potential issues or areas that require attention.
The logs can serve as a useful tool for troubleshooting and understanding what is happening behind the scenes during your work on a project. You can use the logs to:
Review Past Actions: Go back through previous sessions and see what actions were taken, such as file operations or optimizations, allowing you to track and understand changes made to the project over time.
Identify Errors or Issues: Logs provide detailed information on any warnings or errors that may occur during your workflow. This can help pinpoint the cause of a problem and guide you toward a solution.
Audit Changes: The logs serve as a complete audit trail of the project. Whether working alone or as part of a team, the logs can help keep track of what has been done, what needs to be revised, and the order in which actions were taken.
The Logs Window in Durty Cloth Tool is a powerful feature for monitoring all actions taken in your cloth projects. Accessible from the top navigation menu or by clicking the most recent log entry at the bottom of the app, this window provides a comprehensive, persistent record of every change or event. By offering detailed insight into file operations, project changes, optimizations, and more, the Logs Window allows users to track progress, troubleshoot issues, and better understand their projects.
