Session Log
The session log (WiseForLinux.log) records all activity that occurs in Linux Package
Editor during the current session. Therefore, it contains entries for both the current
project and any other projects you opened during the current session. Entries are
categorized as log entries, messages, and warnings.
To view the session log, select File menu > View Session Log File.
Warnings
Warnings are a subset of the session log. When warnings exist, the text on the Warnings
button is red.
To view warnings, click the Warnings button at the lower right of the Linux Package
Editor window.
The Warnings dialog box contains entries for both the current project and any other
projects you opened during the current session. To clear the Warnings dialog box, click
Clear Warnings.
