New Post: Customise output for specific output.

fhnaseer — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 09:55:37 GMT

I use pre and post build scripts in my projects. I want to customise them. Lets say that my I am copying output files to a directory. So in output it is written that "1 file(s) copied." or "0 file(s) copied."

Now what I want is that if there is text "0 file(s) copied." the color of this line should be red (error) so that I came to know that file is not copied.

How I can do that?

Hi,

Any ETA for the support of VS2012 ?

New Post: VS2010/VS2012 and black background of 'Find results' window

firebie — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 10:08:13 GMT

Somehow VS ignores values of my foreground/background and always uses default colors for matched strings in find results window.

FindResultsFilename Foreground"=dword:0000ff00
FindResultsFilename Background"=dword:00000000

FindResultsSearchTerm Foreground"=dword:0000ff00
FindResultsSearchTerm Background"=dword:00000000

Great plugin!

Is it a bug of VS itself or plugin's?

I have a black background in 'Find results' window and, when plugin installed, for all results, that plugin hightlight in the window, used white background instead of black.

Plugin v1.4.5.

Are you planning to release an update for 2012 any soon?

And dear Onion, please, take it easy! No need to feel bad (or blue) only because Microsoft screwed here and there. It is not your fault and even not your problem. We do what we can to make it better and if something is broken beyond repair... oh well, we'll leave with it (or without it).

1. If the problem I reported has been fixed I should be able to resolve the issue with the restart.

2. Migrating VSColorOutput to use the 2012 SDK has been quite frustrating. I've only recently got it to migrate.

3. Yes it is more logical to put the colors in the Output Window category. Visual Studio does not support adding colors to this category. I've complained to Microsoft bitterly about this.

4. Some systems just behavior "weird" with regard to background colors. You'll have to set the background colors manually.

I use VSColorOutput with VS 2012 RTM and would like to note a few things here:

1. Changing colors still require VS restart, even for RTM version of VS 2012. Indeed seems to be a bug in VS. Oh well… At least it is not necessary to do it too often.

2. RTM version of VS SDK is definitely available since August: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30668 It would be great to have VSColorOutput officially updated for 2012.

3. I don’t understand why VSColorOutput colors are listed in Text Editor category. Would not it be logical to place them in the Output Window category?

4. Default settings for VSColorOutput colors look weird on default VS Output window. VS sets Output window background to light gray color and VSColorOutput uses white background by default. Could you please make them match?

Thank you for the great Add-in!

Konstantin

The version in the Visual Studio Gallery should work. Changing colors will require exiting and restarting. This was due to a bug in VS that I'm told is fixed in the final release. When the production version of the Visual Studio SDK is released I'll update this plugin. Supporting the beta Visual Studio releases turned out to be a huge waste of my time. Lesson learned. Only support released versions.

Dear VSColorOutput developers,

Is there any plan to support Visual Studio 2012?

New Post: Convert file names to hyperlink

jpenneck — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:56:41 GMT

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a feature that converts file names in the output window to hyperlinks ? In the Find Results pane, you can double click on file names to open the files, but in the Output window it doesn't work. This would be especially useful to me when retrieving files from a source control system e.g. TFS when all the files retrieved are listed, but cannot be opened directly.

That would hide the entries, but since the lines are still there, the scrolling of entries out of view would still occur

It occurs to me that you can simulate this right now by changing one of custom log colors to white on white. You'll get what looks like a blank line.

I don't know right off. Interesting idea. I'll have to hack around and see if it can be done.

NickDal — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:19:42 GMT

Is it possible to modify this extension to remove or hide entries from the output window?

One of the 3rd party libraries that I use constantly outputs message to the output window making it difficult to see my own as they end up scrolling off the top

New Post: Export regular expressions?

blueonion — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 19:54:16 GMT

There's no export option (good idea though).

You can copy the registry settings at:

\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\DialogPage\BlueOnionSoftware.VsColorOutputOptions

How can I export the regular expressions I use with VsColorOutput so I can use them on another PC?

Good stuff. Took a little longer than intended, but got there in the end!

Just did a pull and build here at work. Works great. I'll do a merge later when I get home from work. Thanks!

Slowly :/

I haven't really had the chance to spend any time on it lately. But the good news is, I'm one failing test and a dodgy regex away from a pull request! Hopefully over the weekend...
