About Fission's Debugging Window

The Debugging Window

Fission includes a dedicated Debugging window, which provides access to logging controls, unsupported Hidden Settings and a Factory Reset button for restoring the application’s original settings.

To access Fission’s Debugging window, hold down the Option key on your keyboard when the Help menu is open. The Contact Rogue Amoeba… command will change to Quit and Relaunch for Debugging.

Select that command and Fission will quit and relaunch directly to its Debugging window.

Logging & Debugging

In the course of troubleshooting, Rogue Amoeba’s Support team may request debugging logs. These can be enabled from the Logging & Debugging section. For more details, see this article on collecting logs.

Fission’s Hidden Settings

The Debugging window contains a section dedicated to special hidden settings, which provide some secondary functions that are not intended for everyday use. These settings are intentionally not included in the app’s main interface, as they are useful only in rare or edge cases.

Fission’s Hidden Settings include:

Check for normalization clipping

Extra check for audio clipping when normalizing audio. It uses additional CPU, so it is off by default.

Check for test releases

Receive prompts to access testing versions of Fission to try the latest enhancements and bug fixes early.

Enable autocompletion of metadata

Allows Fission to use Spotlight to autocomplete ID3 tags (such as Artist). This will result in significant CPU activity, so it is disabled by default.

Force a limit on number of smart splits

Limit Fission to creating 100 smart splits in an audio file, to avoid excessive CPU activity. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled for users that wish to utilize a greater number of smart splits in their projects.

Starting Fresh

Clicking the Factory Reset button in the Start Fresh section of the Debugging window will restore Fission’s default settings, making the app behave as if it is being launched for the first time. Use this function with caution, as it will revert all custom settings.
