 - We refined the 'main directory not found' error message. [#9625](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/9625)

 JabRef uses the logging facade [SLF4j](https://www.slf4j.org). All log messages are passed internally to [tinylog](https://tinylog.org/v2/) which handles any filtering, formatting and writing of log messages.
 
-* Obtaining a logger for a class:
+Obtaining a logger for a class:
 
-    ```java
-    private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(<ClassName>.class);
-    ```
+```java
+private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(<ClassName>.class);
+```
 
-* If the logging event is caused by an exception, please add the exception to the log message as:
+Please always use `LOGGER.debug` for debugging.
 
-    ```java
-      catch (SomeException e) {
-         LOGGER.warn("Warning text.", e);
-         ...
-      }
-    ```
+Example:
+
+```java
+String example = "example";
+LOGGER.debug("Some state {}", example);
+```
+
+Enable logging in `tinylog.properties`:
+
+```properties
+[email protected] = debug
+```
+
+If the logging event is caused by an exception, please add the exception to the log message as:
+
+```java
+  catch (SomeException e) {
+     LOGGER.warn("Warning text.", e);
+     ...
+  }
+```
+
+When running tests, `tinylog-test.properties` is used.
+It is located under `src/test/resources`. As default, only `info` is logged.
+When developing, it makes sense to use `debug` as log level.
+One can change the log level per class using the pattern `level@class=debug` is set to `debug`.
+In the `.properties` file, this is done for `org.jabref.model.entry.BibEntry`.

+SLF4J also support parameterized logging, e.g. if you want to print out multiple arguments in a log statement use a pair of curly braces (`{}`). 
+Head to <https://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#logging_performance> for examples.
