## Diagnostic Logs preferences

The Diagnostic Logs page in the Preferences window provides the ability to activate and save debugger log files in the project. When activated, the debugger generates an XML file containing useful debugger event information that can facilitate the locating and erradication of bugs in a project.

NOTE When logging is activated the performance of the debugger will be reduced as the log information is generated.
