Logging
For each transfer, Hedge creates a Transfer Log with details about the transfer and transferred files. Transfer Logs are always saved locally and optionally also on the Destination.
Mac
Windows
Transfer Logs can be accessed via the menu:
Window > Transfer Logs (CMD-L)
, or by going to this location in Finder:
~/Library/Application Support/Hedge/Transfer Logs
Transfer Logs can be accessed via the menu:
Transfer Logs (Ctrl-L)
, or by going to this location in Explorer:

The Tranfer Log viewer
Hedge has a hidden feature that allows for forcing underscores in the file name of the logs:
Mac
Windows
Set using Terminal command:
defaults write nl.syncfactory.Hedge.Mac SFIDefaultsForceUnderscores "1"
Set via the Registry:
Location - Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hedge
Key - ForceUnderscrores
Type - String
Value - 1
Hedge has a hidden feature that allows for setting a secondary transfer log location:
Mac
Windows
Set using Terminal command:
defaults write nl.syncfactory.Hedge.Mac SFIDefaultsExtraLogLocation "/path/of/your/choice"
Set via the Registry:
Location - Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hedge
Key - ExtraLogLocation
Type - String
Value - C:\the_path_you_choose
When enabled, Hedge creates a Media Hash List for each transfer (.mhl file) with the checksums (a.k.a hashes) of all transferred files. This .mhl file can be used to re-verify your data at a later stage using the Checkpoint application.
Don't want Transfer Logs and Media Hash Lists on your destination? You can turn this feature off in Hedge's
Preferences > Transfers > Logging
(or on Windows: Settings > Transfers > Logging
). When Hedge's Checkpoint feature detects a Media Hash List on your Source, it will use those checksums as a reference instead of doing an extra Source Verification source read.
Email [email protected] if you are interested in a Hedge Pro license, or check all pro features here.
Hedge Pro users can choose between creating
legacy MHLs
and ASC MHLs
.ASC MHL creation is only available when Checkpoint is
ON
and in Archive mode. More information on the ASC MHL standard can be found on American Society of Cinematographers website.
