On this page you can find information on where to start if something does not work as desired.
Collecting Information
In the SweepMe! directory, you will find a file called debug.log, as long as SweepMe! is not started in the debug mode. In this file you may find useful information about a problem. If you do not know what the messages mean, this information can still be useful for others, so always attach the debug.log file when asking for support. Please note: This file may be empty if SweepMe! is still running. So close SweepMe! before accessing the file.
