To enable extended logging, simply check the checkbox at the bottom of any button. Please note that this checkbox is a global setting that affect all buttons using the Nuendo plugin.

If you want to report a problem with the plugin, it is a big help if you create a log file as follows and attach it to the bug report.

Quit Stream Deck.
On Windows: Right click the Stream Deck icon in the notification area and select Quit Stream Deck. On Mac: Click the Menu Bar Icon and select Quit Stream Deck.
Restart Stream Deck.
Trigger the error situation.
Attach the log information in the bug report either by attaching the log file or by open the log file using the View Log button and copy/paste the log information to the bug report. (Please include the entire log, not just a section that you think covers the error situation).
Disable extended logging by clearing the Extended logging checkbox for any button using the Nuendo plugin.

Log file:

Windows: "%appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\se.trevligaspel.nuendo.sdPlugin\pluginlog.txt"
Mac: "~/Library/Application Support/com.elgato.StreamDeck/Plugins/se.trevligaspel.midimac.sdPlugin/pluginlog.txt"
