SCITE output pane in an extra window?

[LukeWCS]

Hi

Is it possible to "undock" the output pane so I can place it on a secondary screen? I want to have Scite maximized at my primary screen and the output pane maximized at my secondary screen. That would be very helpfully!

This is not part of standard SciTE build provided by Neil Hodgson which we use as a base to build this version.

Ok, thanks for your answer Jos.

Could be interesting.

Could you give an example.

Did you try this solution ?

The Options | Vertical Split command can be used to move the output pane beneath the editing pane.

I only see your posts now. Thanks for the tip, but the problem is that the output pane is on the right, but my secondary monitor is on the left. And I can't move the monitors, because it's not a normal table on which the monitors are, but a special computer table with appropriate spaces for certain peripherals.

Just try to set SciTE window width and heigth to sumarized value of both monitors.

Yes. But my primary monitor is 24" 16:9 and my secondary is 19" 5:4. I want to use the primary for the code editor and my secondary for the output pane.

I have some other Idea in my mind,  but won't be easy.
You (by your own) should change AutoIt3Wrapper to send reports to separate window.

I also work on 2 monitors.
2x 22''

or

14''+24'' 

on one I have SciTE on other documentation or the project which I automate....

This would not bo so dificult as you have to change only one simple function in AutoIt3Wrapper.au3
I mean this:

Func __ConsoleWrite($s)
    ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString(StringToBinary($s, 4), 1))
    Local $UseMailSlot = StringInStr($CMDLINERAW, "/RunAdmin") <> 0
    If $s <> "" And $UseMailSlot Then
        _MailSlotWrite($sMailSlotConsole, BinaryToString(StringToBinary($s, 4), 1)) ;Used when shelled script uses #requireAdmin
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>__ConsoleWrite

The first line is using ConsoleWrite and you should change this single line to throw data ot other output.

Interesting, I have to take a look, thanks for the info.  

But if I redirect the output, the interactive possibilities of the output pane are lost. And I use this interactive function permanently. I also wrote my own version of ConsolWrite() for this purpose, which then outputs debug lines in the output pane, which I can double-click directly so that the editor jumps to the corresponding point in the code. Similar to Alt+D. In my version, however, the time including milliseconds is also output.

 

As example:

DebugWrite("context_openInExplorer")
    ConsoleWrite("context_openInExplorer")

This code will write the follwoing to the output pane:

So I can directly double-click on the line "Debug(930)...".

btw.
The solution I prospose to you, only redirect output from AutoIt3Wrapper, Au3Check, Tidy, Au3Stripper but not your own ConsoleWrite.

Do you want to redirect your own ConsoleOutput ?

Take a look here:

This is only modest begining not working project.

But I want to say that you should redirect DebugWrite() output to your own window and catch up when you click specific line .... then parse this line and send to SciTE a command to jump to desired line.
