I’m pleased to announce Entrian Source Search 1.7.20, with these fixes and features:
Lots of problems fixed with multi-screen mixed-DPI environments, which for some reason seem to have become very popular in recent weeks… Thanks to lots of people who have sent bug reports for this.
If you run out of disk space during indexing, you’re now prompted to retry, so you can clear some space and carry on.
When you lock a tab, the Search box now gets a grey background to make it visibly obvious that it’s locked. Thanks, Jools.
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.
I’m pleased to announce Entrian Inline Watch 1.0.11, which now supports Visual Studio 2019 version 16.1. The previous release was erroneously marked as only working with 16.0 rather than all 16.x versions. Thanks, Cahit and target2.
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.
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.
Comments Off on Entrian Source Search 1.7.18: Now works with .NET Framework 4.8 in 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.
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.
I’m pleased to announce Entrian Source Search 1.7.15, with these fixes and features:
Your tabs, search history, etc. are now saved and restored between sessions. Thanks, Boris.
You can now choose to trim any leading whitespace from the lines in the results list. Thanks, Ernie.
You can once again use a UNC path as an index root. Thanks, Allen and Brady.
When using a High DPI display mode, Source Search dialogs containing multiline text boxes no longer suffers from layout glitches. Thanks, Yash.
Searching using a wildcard in a filename, eg. [file:jquery.*.js] now returns all the results, rather than missing out a seemingly random subset of them. Thanks, Jools.
Wildcards in filename filters now behave more as you’d expect: prefixed wildcards (eg. j*) in filenames can now match more than one token rather than just one, so [file:j*.js] matches jquery-ui.min.js as well as jquery.js. Thanks, Jools.
After a crash disables Source Search, triggering it again now asks whether you want to re-enable it, rather then telling you to use the “More / Enable…” command to do so. The problem with old message was that if the Source Search window wasn’t visible, there was no way to get to that “”More / Enable…” command. Thanks, Walter.
When you resize the Visual Studio window during a search, so that the Search box changes size, the spinner now maintains its position at the right-hand end of the search box. Thanks, Jools.
The ‘Show only filename/folder’ and ‘Don’t show filename/folder’ commands now work properly with filenames and folders that contain spaces. Thanks, Avraham.
In C-family languages, if you have source file with an unclosed string, the syntax highlighting now recovers rather than highligting the whole of the rest of the file as a string.
Using a text filter (This +That, meaing ‘search for This in files containing That’) for an index with a directory mapping now works properly. Thanks, Huy.
In the dark theme, the results list header now has visible separators between the columns. Thanks, Jools.
Source Search no longer fails on startup when the ANSI codepage is set to UTF-8. Thanks, Justin.
Single tokens that are many hundreds of characters long no longer cause rendering glitches in the autocomplete dropdown. Thanks, Sam.
Alt+= on a Lisp symbol in a .dc or .dcx file now searches for the whole symbol. Thanks, Jonathan.
The Source Search installer no longer has a dependency on MSVCP140.dll, which isn’t present on all developer PCs. Thanks, Derrick.
