Mr X has a proposition to put to us for a revolutionary new type of aircraft. Glenn: "Gentlemen, you must forgive the extraordinary security precautions taken today, but when I tell you that Mr X is none other than the man who designed the International Rescue aircrafts, you will understand the importance of security. Mr X, are you with us?"īrains: "Yes I-I am with you, Mr President." A man who is undoubtedly the world’s greatest aircraft designer. We are here to listen to a proposal from a Mr X, a man who is fifty years ahead of his time. Glenn: "Gentlemen, we are gathered here today as representatives of some of the greatest design teams in the world. However many developers have said that no one really uses the alternate levels, it is really just an on or off from 0 to 5.This page is a transcription of Thunderbird 6

The assumption is that the developer would tell the person exactly which ones to turn on and to what levels. Initially all levels will be at zero and users would be expected to set the log level to something before restarting TB into logging mode. Since there are only a few protocols I flattened them all out of their combobox into a list where enabling them is done by setting the log level above zero. These are the mockups for the various pages required to make this interaction a reality. PR_LOG_WARNING = 3, /* warning messages */.PR_LOG_ALWAYS = 1, /* always printed */.These can be provided for in a drop down selector.Īgain, the mail troubleshoot page describes 5 levels of logging. Other options should be in a preferences menu or scuttled away in the about:config.Īccording to mail troubleshoot and MailNews:LDAP_Address_Books there are 6 types of protocol logging. Options that are important for proper usage and are going to be changed by the majority of users should be in the main interface so they are obvious and easily changed.

Button to open log directory in Finder/Explorer.

Complicated and might ignore the local IT person case.

Could automate the uploading of information in a similar way to Breakpad.

read the debug information (developers especially).

forward it to their local IT person via email.

Set logging modules and levels? (I doubt this is worthwhile - many users won't know enough to be smart here -davida).

Developer or IT person instructs user how to turn on logging.

Here are some common use cases with steps taken by each party involved.

The current ON / off in the title is pretty lame, but I'm a little tired right now.

How do we better show status of logging mode in the Preferences UI?.

Assumption that this is necessary because we don't want people to forget and continue using thunerbird in logging mode beyond the task it's called for.

How do we display the fact that we are in logging mode in the main mail interface?.

Do we notify someone if they change logging levels and do not restart thunderbird?.

Current preferences mockups do not do a good job of this and the main interface requires some kind of indication.

Some indication of logging mode should be used to indicate why Thunderbird is behaving differently.

Current preferences interface always displays the location of the log directory and allows for it to be changed.

The log directory should probably be made available even while logging is disabled.

Our interactions require a restart into logging mode and the next restart would take the user out of that mode.

Logging should only be on when needed, then off the rest of the time.

Logging slows down Thunderbird quite a bit.MailNews:Logging#Logging_Tools has some workarounds. The desired interface enables any user to a) turn on MailNews:Logging mailnews logging and b) send their logs to the proper location. Developers and program debuggers need to get logged information from a user's Thunderbird instance via email or uploaded file to bugzilla.
