Description

Sanity checks

  • I have done the sanity checks, and my issue persists
  • These sanity checks are not relevant to the bug

Deskflow version info

Qt: 6.10.0
System: macOS Tahoe (26.0.1)

Deskflow package (downloaded from Deskflow)

Operating systems (OS)

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux (X11)
  • Linux (Wayland)
  • BSD-derived
  • Other (please specify)

Deskflow configuration

  • macOS Server, Windows, Linux, and Windows client (one of them might be switched off at any client)
  • macOS server has two monitors (one built-in, one extended), everything else has single built-in monitor
  • Windows 1 on left of macOS server, Ubuntu client on right, windows 2 client on further right

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Start Deskflow
  2. Make sure Logs are enabled (Preferences -> Advanced -> Log to file, give a log path)
  3. Note that instead of logging all the events like Entering screen/leaving screen etc., it just continuously shows QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified error messages.

Additional information

I had first enabled text file config by exporting and importing one again so I thought that might have caused the problem, but even going back to the usual GUI based config is showing the same logs.
