Log
FS can show you a Log Window reporting a description of the last tasks done, timing, occasional errors... and the current configuration (Settings, Filters...).

• At the end of any task (sync or backup), you can see the log text selecting the menu item "Log" from the menu "Window".

• On the Preferences panel you can set FS to save the Log Text to a file, always or only if an error occurred. Also you can set FS to POST the Log Text to your own https server, always or only if some error occurred.

• The text here below shows a Log Text sample.
