Verbose in Console logs

Hi,

First, thank you for your awesome app, I use it tens times a day.

Just to let you know, I purchased PopClip on the App Store and migrated to the stand alone version months ago without problems.
However, searching to solve a likely unrelated bug, I went through the console log and found that there is a verbose logging of Popclip related messages

Popclip seems normally registered, though

Is it possible to get rid of all this ?

Thanks

I’m not sure what those error messages are caused by; everythign is fully signed and notarized so I don’t know why that subsystem is unhappy. I’m seeing something about a connection error but not sure what connecting to what. But modern MacOS logging produces a lot of constant chatter when anything so much as breathes. I think the idea is we are supposed to use the filters in the log viewer to hone in on the whatever system we are actually looking for.
