Log Files
There might be times during the development when you need to obtain information from the logs of the webplayer you've built, your standalone player, the target device or the editor. Usually you need to see these files when you have experienced a problem and you have to know where exactly the problem occurred.
On Mac the webplayer, player and editor logs can be accessed uniformly through the standard utility.
On Windows the webplayer and editor logs are place in folders there are not shown in the Windows Explorer by default. Please see the Accessing hidden folders page to resolve that situation.
Editor
Editor log can be brought up through the button in Unity's Console window.
