System Messages

A resizable log panel at the bottom of the left side panel. It shows a rolling feed of recent app events: saves, downloads, backups, errors.

Panel layout

• A resize handle along the top edge. Default height 200px, minimum 92px, maximum a third of the side panel.
• A "SYSTEM MESSAGES" header.
• A scrolling list of messages, newest at the top. Each line has a timestamp and the message text.
• A CLEAR button at the bottom (visible when there are messages). It clears the on-screen display only.

Message format

HH:MM:SS  message text

Timestamps are 24-hour.

Rolling limit

The panel holds at most fifty messages. When a new one arrives and the limit is hit, the oldest message drops.

Persistence

Every message is also written to disk at %APPDATA%\JotBunker\system-messages.log. The log file uses the same fifty-entry rolling limit. CLEAR only affects the on-screen display; the file is not deleted.

What gets logged

The panel is for app events other than sync. Typical entries:

• App started.
• Jot downloads (per jot and batch).
• Individual file saves (image, audio, file, drawing).
• Save to tag (lists and scratchpad).
• Jot data fetching.
• Jot clear actions.
• Backup and restore results.

Sync events do not appear here. When DEBUG LOGGING is on, every sync gets its own log file under %APPDATA%\JotBunker\debug-logs\. When the toggle is off, sync events are not saved anywhere. See Debug Logging.
