Entrian Source Search 1.7.19: Various bugfixes

I’m pleased to announce Entrian Source Search 1.7.19, which fixes four bugs:

  • Keystrokes in the Search box now always go to the Search box, rather than sometimes going to the current source file. Thanks, Hao, Daniel, and Avraham.
  • Opening a Markdown file from the Source Search search results now works when you have Mads Kristensen’s Markdown Editor extension installed. Thanks, Kuo.
  • Pressing Escape now reliably returns focus from the Source Search query box to the active document; previously you sometimes had to press Escape twice. Thanks, Mark.
  • After you open a solution and Source Search restores its tabs, if you run a search and then open a new tab, your search is now properly stored in the history. Thanks, Jools.

You can download this new release from the download page or from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

Entrian Source Search 1.7.18: Now works with .NET Framework 4.8 in Visual Studio 2019

I’m relieved to announce Entrian Source Search 1.7.18, which, when running under .NET Framework 4.8 within Visual Studio 2019, no longer appears as either a blank rectangle or an entertainingly transparent rectangle, through which you can see your desktop.  Thanks, Mark, Martin, and Morten.

Available for download from here or in the Visual Studio Marketplace.

Please note that the Source Search tool window won’t appear where you last left it, the first time you see it after the upgrade.  It’s effectively a new window as far as Visual Studio is concerned, so it will appear in a default place and you’ll need to dock it again.

Full support for Visual Studio 2019

I’m pleased to announce new versions of Entrian Source Search, Entrian Attach, and Entrian Inline Watch, all of which now fully support Visual Studio 2019.

Full support for Visual Studio 2019 means that all three extensions use background loading, so they won’t necessarily load as soon as Visual Studio loads, or as soon as your solution loads.  They will load as soon as you trigger one of their commands, but otherwise there can be a few seconds’ delay, before Source Search starts indexing, or before Attach will attach to newly started processes.  Neither you nor I get any control over this, I’m afraid.

As well as support for Visual Studio 2019, these releases include the following fixes and features:

Entrian Source Search:

  • You can no longer close a locked tab; you need to unlock it first.  Thanks, Mary.
  • Closing a tab that was restored from a previous session now closes the correct tab rather than some other one.  Thanks, Marius.
  • Fixed a crash when you start a search, right-click in the results before they update, then click a menu command after they update.  Thanks, Jools.
  • Fixed a bogus occasional ‘Error saving settings; Retry?’ message.  Thanks Brett.

Entrian Attach:

  • No longer fails to work if you have a file called ‘C:\Program’ on your C drive.  Don’t do that, by the way.
  • Installation now works properly if you have an instance of Visual Studio that only includes the build tools, as well as a full instance.  Thanks, Vlad.

 

Here are the new releases:

Support for Visual Studio 2019

I’m pleased to announce new versions of Entrian Source Search, Entrian Attach, and Entrian Inline Watch, all of which work with Visual Studio 2019 Preview.

These versions are not yet optimised for Visual Studio 2019, so they may cause deprecation warnings.  There’ll be new versions available before the final release of VS 2019 that will fix those warnings.
