Description
Referring to this https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/2608#issuecomment-73480211
It would be nice to automatically log the Arduino errors into a specific txt file.
I'd suggest that it automatically clears the log on a new IDE startup by default.
And for the debug IDE I'd rather create more individual files and keep them in the main directory or in a special /debug path with the startup date. It would also be nice if the cmd stays open (on double click) for Windows to actually see whats being logged.
@ffissore anything to add?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the referenced Arduino issue and its comment, then inspect the Arduino IDE's existing error and debug output paths. Define the logging behavior, startup clearing, debug-file placement, and Windows command-window behavior before identifying the affected entry points; done means the requested errors are reliably recorded with the specified startup behavior.
