Sorry Sven ... if you'd used the phrase "redirected to a file" instead of "Can anyone please tell this fellow how to get the debug output on Windows?" I might of realized what was needed :-) (I was expecting that the GIMP output window would trap everything when the envvar was set) In any case - this: "D:\Program Files\GIMP-2.6\bin\gimp-2.6.exe" > d:\temp\gimplog5.txt gives this output ... === (gimp-2.6.exe:5588): DND-DEBUG: gimp_dnd_data_drop_handle(798): data type 1 (gimp-2.6.exe:5588): DND-DEBUG: gimp_dnd_data_drop_handle(817): target text/uri-list (gimp-2.6.exe:5588): DND-DEBUG: gimp_selection_data_get_uri_list(119): raw buffer >>file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Alec/Desktop/12677-8.jpg << (gimp-2.6.exe:5588): DND-DEBUG: gimp_selection_data_get_uri_list(162): trying to convert "file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Alec/Desktop/12677-8.jpg" to an uri <----------> (gimp-2.6.exe:5588): DND-DEBUG: gimp_dnd_data_drop_handle(798): data type 1 (gimp-2.6.exe:5588): DND-DEBUG: gimp_dnd_data_drop_handle(817): target text/uri-list (gimp-2.6.exe:5588): DND-DEBUG: gimp_selection_data_get_uri_list(119): raw buffer >>file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Alec/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/1LX395MJ/12677-3%5B1%5D.jpg << (gimp-2.6.exe:5588): DND-DEBUG: gimp_selection_data_get_uri_list(162): trying to convert "file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Alec/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/1LX395MJ/12677-3%5B1%5D.jpg" to an uri === I'm not sure whether this is showing both stdout and stderr or just stdout? Lines above <----------> are from DnD from Desktop. Lines below are from DnD from an IEView tab in Firefox. Attempted DnD from a Firefox tab to GIMP toolbox just shows the slashed-circle and doesn't generate any output to the log file. Aside: can you point me to any Doc or Man page that defines what environment variables GIMP is looking for? I assume that there are more settings that GIMP_LOG is looking for than just "dnd"?
