== Getting help ==
If you have problems using Picard, please first check the following resources:

* For general usage information see the [[Picard Documentation|documentation]] and the [[How To Tag Files With Picard|illustrated quick start guide]]
* Read the [[Picard FAQ|FAQ]] for common questions and problems
* Consult the [http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewforum.php?id=2 forums].
* Check the [[MusicBrainz Picard|download page]] for a newer version of Picard which might solve your problem
* If the problem is to do with a plugin, check the [[Picard Plugins]] for updated plugin versions

== Reporting a bug ==
If you think you have found a bug please check whether you are using the [[MusicBrainz Picard|latest version]] of Picard and whether the bug has already been reported in our [http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/PICARD bug tracker]. If you're not sure or don't want to look through the existing tickets, ask on the [http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewforum.php?id=2 forums] first.

If you're still convinced you have found a new bug, open a [http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10042&issuetype=1 new ticket] providing the following information:

* Which version of Picard do you use? ('''Affects Version''' in the form)
* Which operating system do you use? ('''Environment''' in the form)
* What did you do when the bug occurred?
* What actually happened and what did you expect to happen?
* If you're using plugins, which plugins do you have enabled?

=== Getting logs ===
For many bugs, it helps developers to have a log from Picard. You can see the log by going to '''Help''' >> '''View Log'''. You can also get a full debug log (even better) by starting Picard with '''-d''' as a command-line argument. If you're using Windows, you can change your shortcut's ''Target'' (right click shortcut >> '''Properties''') to <pre>"C:\Program Files\MusicBrainz Picard\picard.exe" -d</pre> Pasting this log into your forum post or bug ticket can help developers and other users to resolve your issue more quickly.
