When I disconnect the USB cable while the console window is open, there's a never-ending flood of errors in the log. Also, the log is written to disc, meaning that (as happened last night) if I accidentally forget to close the console window and walk away from the computer, the temp dir takes 100% of my disc.
Interesting! Will have to avoid doing that.
I just deleted a 16 GB error file. Was wondering what that was, also had to kill javaw.exe to gain access over it (not running the Arduino IDE at the moment either)
