| <section begin="intro" />This page describes how to use the Kodi internal '''[[File manager]]''' for locating and copying your [[log file]]. This is handy for situations like if the debug uploader add-on doesn't work, or if you need to manually access the logs but are using a non-desktop OS that doesn't have easy access to those files.<section end="intro" />

| File:File manager.log file.01.png| {{large|'''Step 1:'''}} In Kodi's home screen, go to the '''[[File manager]]''' submenu of the '''Settings''' menu.
| |
| File:File manager.log file.02.png| {{large|'''Step 2:'''}} This is the file manager. You can add sources just like any other [[media source]]. This is a remote control friendly interface that uses an A-B panel system. Files selected from Panel A can be copied into Panel B, for example.
| |
| File:File manager.log file.03.png| {{large|'''Step 3:'''}} On Panel A, Select '''Add source'''. Select where it says '''none''' rather than going into "browse".
| |
| File:File manager.log file.04.png| {{large|'''Step 4:'''}} Type in, either using a keyboard or using the on-screen-keyboard, the following: '''<code>special://logpath</code>''' and then press '''Done'''.
| |
| File:File manager.log file.05.png| {{large|'''Step 5:'''}} You can rename the source if you want, or just go down and press '''OK''' to finish adding the logpath as a source.
| |
| File:File manager.log file.06.png| {{large|'''Step 6:'''}} Now we want to add a location to save the log file to. Another [[media source]], such as a network file share, can be added here, or we can even just plug in a USB drive, which should automatically show up in the File manager. '''ADATAPRO''' in the screenshot is a USB flash drive for this example.
| |
| File:File manager.log file.07.png| {{large|'''Step 7:'''}} On Panel A: Open the '''logpath''' source. On Panel B: Open the source you added, either USB drive or other [[media source]] location. You can further navigate in Panel B to the exact folder you wish to copy the log file to.
| |
| File:File manager.log file.08.png| {{large|'''Step 8:'''}} Scroll down until you see '''kodi.log''' (currently running log) or '''kodi.old.log''' (log from the last time {{Name}} was open). Bring up the contextual menu ({{keypress|C}} on a keyboard or {{button|Menu}} on most remotes), and then select '''Copy'''.
| |
| File:File manager.log file.09.png| {{large|'''Step 9:'''}} Select '''Yes''' to confirm the copy. Remember, whatever is selected in Panel A is being copied to the location open in Panel B.
| |
| File:File manager.log file.10.png| {{large|'''Step 10:'''}} The log file has now been copied to the other location. In this example, the easily accessible USB flash drive.
