Collect Logs and Report a Problem

A sanitized log and three facts make a bug fixable.

Find the log file

PlatformLog file
macOS~/Library/Logs/KeibiDrop/keibidrop.log
Linux~/.local/share/keibidrop/keibidrop.log
WindowsC:\Users\<you>\.local\share\keibidrop\keibidrop.log

The exact path in effect is shown at startup by both CLIs, in the app's settings panel, and by kd log-path.

Export a sanitized copy

Do not attach the raw log. Export the sanitized version, which strips paths and identifiers that do not belong in a public issue:

Without a destination argument, the export lands next to your received files.

What to include in a report

  1. The sanitized log.
  2. Your version and platform: kd version output (version and commit), and the OS of both machines.
  3. What you did, what you expected, what happened instead. One reproducible sequence beats ten adjectives.
  4. The connection mode if relevant (lan, direct, bridge, from kd status or the app's badge).
