Starting from version 7.1, you can run ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors with the --ascdesktop-support-debug-info-keep flag. It can have the following values:

Parameters
Value Description Usage
Runs the application. --ascdesktop-support-debug-info-keep=1
Stops the application. --ascdesktop-support-debug-info-keep=0
The default application condition - the app is turned off. --ascdesktop-support-debug-info-keep=default

To launch ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors with this flag, use the same instructions as for the --ascdesktop-support-debug-info flag above. The only difference is that the --ascdesktop-support-debug-info-keep flag stores the value passed to it. You will not need to specify it every time you run the application.
