Command Line Tool preference

[scunliffe]

Hi all,

I use the Command Line Tool to run compiling and deploying actions for code I'm working on.  Behind the scenes this just runs some batch files for particular actions.

Everything works fine and I can see the output of the command(s) but I often get a long list (vertically longer than a screen full) of output.  Unfortunately my Command window doesn't scroll to the end of the output (where a list of any compilation errors would be) thus I have to manually scroll to see it.

Would there be any chance that an option would be available to scroll with the output? (or is it already available and I've missed it?)

Hi Steve,

Right mouse click on Output window and check that Auto-Scroll is On.
In 1.50 output gets also toolbar, so will be more visible.

Thanks Alex,

I guess I should explain a bit more... (I have this option checked off already) it doesn't work if the *first* time the Command window is opened... it runs vertically longer than the visible space.

e.g. I normally do not have the window open (as I find it takes up too much space)... then I run my command via a hotkey [CTRL] + [F11]

The command runs... and only when complete does the command window open... but as noted it doesn't scroll to the bottom.  Ideally the command window would open right when I run the command, and I would see the content scroll as it runs... until complete.

Hi Steve,

yes, you are right. If window is hidden, auto-scroll does not work. I think, this is a bug, will fix it with new update of 1.49.

About showing of the window after start, but not after end of tool, I will think.
I think current design (after end of tool) was done for auto-hidden panes, but for completely closed, probably, it makes sense to open window initially, if it any way will be open at the end.

BR, Alex.
