Welcome to the forum @NinjafromNZ

<job> --> Show log --> Remote is the operations done to the remote. An empty list means no remote files not no source file selection. Now that you’re sort of used to looking at remote operations, please look over About --> Show log --> Live --> Retry log during a failed run. If you notice a problem, try clicking on the line.

Errors (as opposed to warnings) often land in About --> Show log --> Stored. Click on a line to see details.
