Get help with a problem What to include when you ask for help with a LightCraft bug, and where to post it. 30 0.6.0

Open an issue in the issue tracker, or ask in Discord. Include your version, your system, what you did, and what you expected.

What to include

  1. Your version. Choose Help > About LightCraft (on macOS, LightCraft > About LightCraft).
  2. Your system. For example Windows 11, 64-bit. Help > System Info… shows details about your computer.
  3. The steps. What you clicked, in order, and what happened.
  4. The camera and file type, if the problem is with a photo.
  5. A sample file, if a raw or other photo renders wrong. Maintainers ask for the original file, not an export. A link to a shared folder works. Uploading raws to raw.pixls.us also helps, because every file there becomes a permanent test sample for that camera.
  6. A screenshot of LightCraft next to the camera JPEG or the other app, for colour problems.
  7. The log file. Choose Help > Open Log Folder and attach lightcraft.log.

Where the log is

LightCraft writes its log to logs/lightcraft.log in its settings folder. On Windows that is %APPDATA%\LightCraft\logs\. Each start moves the previous log to lightcraft.1.log, and that one to lightcraft.2.log, so the log of a run that crashed survives the next start.

Still stuck?
