[DONE] ES error messages

[NotNull]

Just noticed that ES writes it's error message to console (or stdout?) instead of the stderr output stream ( link for more information)
Using this stdout and stdin makes it easier to redirect the output to a file / to 'void' (nul) / to a remote session or terminal.

Example: When Everything is not running:

Code: Select all

es.exe something 2>nul
Everything IPC window not found, IPC unavailable.

I expected this command to produce no output.
But not all console applications follow that ''rule'. Might even be by design.

Anyway, very low priority suggestion.

ES 1.1.0.13:

• Moved error output to stderr.

That's fast!

By low priority I had something in mind between M&M’s Color Distribution Analysis and hiring someone to iron your shoelaces ....


Will test and report back ... with medium priority

Would this have not accomplished it?

Code: Select all

es.exe  something  2>&1 >nul

Oh, that's going to send everything (Everything ) to nul, & you just wanted stderr.

Testing version 1.1.0.13 brought to light a couple of issues that were already (dormant) in older versions of ES (*):

• options /? , -? , -h and -help generate errorcode 6: Unknown switch (but show the help text)
• options /h and /help don't show any help at all.

But I'm happy with the new version


(*)Tested with 1.1.0.11. No errorcodes, but it sets %errorlevel% to 6.

Thanks for the issue report.

ES 1.1.0.14:

• Updated help text thanks to NotNull.
• Fixed error reported by -? -h -help.
• -h -help now shows help.
