The Error console offers more possibilities than the single “GIMP Message”. This is a log of all errors occurring while GIMP is running. You can save all this log or only a selected part.

The “Error Console” dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section 第 2.3 节 “对话框和停靠” for help on manipulating it.

You can access it:

• from an image menu: Windows → Dockable Dialogs → Error Console;

• from the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking on and selecting Add Tab → Error Console.
