Sending a helpful support request

Include reproduction steps and diagnostics so a problem can be investigated.

A useful request explains the action you attempted, the result you expected and what actually happened. Start with one affected file or a short sequence of repeatable steps.

What to include

  • iFlicks version/build and whether it came from the App Store, the direct download or Setapp.
  • macOS version and Mac model.
  • The exact error message and relevant screenshots.
  • Source container and tracks, chosen preset, and local/external/network storage locations.
  • Whether one file or all files are affected, and which comparisons you have tried.
  • The player and device if the problem concerns the finished output.

Include a diagnostic log

  1. Open iFlicks settings and select Advanced.
  2. If more detail is needed, note the current log level and temporarily choose Debug.
  3. Reproduce the problem once.
  4. Choose Help → Send Feedback….
  5. Review the prepared email, add your description and check for the compressed log attachment.
  6. Send the message when ready, then restore your previous log level.

The feedback command attempts to prepare an email with a log attachment. If that is unavailable, it may open an email without the attachment or the support website. Check the draft rather than assuming a log was included or sent. You can also write to support@iflicks.app.

Logs may contain filenames, paths and other personal information. Review what you share and never include passwords or payment-card details. For an existing case, reply in the same conversation and include its reference. Wait for instructions before sending a large video file.
