I can not run the debug console

[salazor]

I can not run the debug console while Everything running, after pressing Ctrl + ~ nothing happens, but in cmd works without a problem.

Win XP SP3

(I've had difficulties with the shortcut key, at various times, even now, it seems.)

can't enter the debug mode

Please note: the actual keyboard shortcut for the console is Ctrl + `
Please make sure Shift is not pressed.
I've heard it's impossible to press Ctrl + ` on a German keyboard.

To change the console keyboard shortcut:

• In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Keyboard tab.
• Type in console for show commands containing:
• Click Edit....
• Press a new keyboard shortcut. eg: Ctrl + F10.
• Click OK.
• Click OK.

Please note: Ctrl + ` only works inside an Everything Search window. It will not work in the console to close it.

Earlier, XP, Ctrl+` didn't work.
Now, Win7, Ctrl+` works.

I changed to Ctrl + F10 also not working.

Are you running Everything from a command prompt?

If so the console will attach to the command prompt used to run Everything.

[salazor]

No, I run the .exe, and I click a shortcut but nothing happens.

You can add "-debug" (temporarily) to the shortcut.
Add the -debug to the shortcut's Target:

Code: Select all

Target:  C:\DEV\Locate\Everything.exe  -debug

I changed to Ctrl + F10 also not working.

Ditto, Win XP.

I've made some changes to the debug console in Everything 1.4.0.703b. The console should always be created now, never attached to the parent process.

If any errors occur, a message box should be displayed describing the error code.

Now debug console runs, thanks.

Is this a normal reaction that when you close the debug closes too Everything?

[void]

Yes, closing the console will terminate Everything.

703, debug shortcut is now working for me, opens/closes the debug console, as expected, on Win XP.
