 Binding to objects defined in `.ui`-files are auto generated via
 
 ```
-./build-aux/generate_ui_bindings.py
+$ ./build-aux/generate_ui_bindings.py
 ```
 
 You have to execute this script after adding, changing or removing ids from `.ui`-files. The bindings can be found in `src/ui/builder.rs`. Using only those bindings allows to catch all errors in accessing builder elements on compile time.

+## Debugging
+
+The STDIO log level can be adjusted by setting the `RUST_LOG` to debug or trace. For example
+
+```
+$ RUST_LOG=trace cargo run
+```
+
+There is also the option to log to syslog
+
+```
+$ cargo run --syslog
+```
+
+However, flatpaks do not support syslog by default.
