I’m pleased to announce Entrian Inline Watch 1.0.8, with these fixes and features:

• Fixed “This Visual is not connected to a PresentationSource” crash.
• You can now display integer values in fixed-length hex format, for example {m_color,6x}.  Thanks, Martin.
• The config dialog is now shown in a sensible place on multi-monitor setups.
• Object display rules that include leading hex values no longer have that leading hex unexpectedly stripped off.  Thanks, Martin.

This new release is available from the download page or the gallery.

I’m pleased to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.7.14, which should no longer crash when it encounters an OutOfMemoryException when searching.

1.7.13 fixed this for the indexing process, and 1.7.14 fixes it for searching.  Visual Studio is a 32-bit process, and uses up memory like it’s going out of fashion.  If you happen to be using Source Search at the point that the address space runs out, it now tries to report that sensibly rather than displaying its crash dialog.

1.7.14 also includes a couple of other tweaks:

• The default root folder when you use Open Folder is now the folder you’ve opened, not its parent.
• Source Search gives up searching when it reaches one million hits; that now happens earlier in the searching process, so you get your million hits more quickly.  🙂

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

I’d like to announce the release of Entrian Inline Watch 1.0.7, with these enhancements:

• The Config dialog is now modeless, and has an Apply button, so you can see your changes while keeping the dialog open.  Thanks, Avinash.
• __int64 values are now displayed properly in popups, in decimal/hex/octal/binary.  Thanks, Jingjing.
• If you have enabled ‘Edit / Advanced / Show White Space’ in Visual Studio, the Inline Watch values are now painted in front of the white space dots rather than behind.  Thanks, Martin.

This new release is available from the download page or the gallery.

I’m pleased to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.7.13, which fixes a pile of bugs:

• Dialogs no longer shrink so that you can’t see some of their controls.  Thanks, Jean-Michel.
• Fixed an OutOfMemoryException for very large indexes.  Thanks, Eddie.
• Reverted the recent font change for machines with ClearType disabled, because the new font looked worse than the old one when ClearType was disabled.  Thanks, Anders.
• Fixed a crash when a line of code in the results list included characters that .NET 4.0 considers to be letters but .NET 2.0 didn’t (and there’s a surprising number of those!)
• Fixed a crash when enabling logging.  Thanks, Andrew.
• Fixed a crash when using autocomplete while entering a ‘loose:’-prefixed query.  Thanks, Daniel.

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

I’m very pleased to announce Entrian Source Search 1.7.12, with these enhancements:

• Full support for Open Folder in Visual Studio 2017; when you use Open Folder, Source Search will treat the folder like a solution, associating an index with it in the usual way.  Thanks, Martin.
• Switched the font from Microsoft Sans Serif to Segoe UI, which is the font used by the rest of the Visual Studio UI.  Thanks, Mark.
• The result list context menu now has a command to copy the unique path names of the files in the search result to the clipboard.  Thanks, Jan.
• Opening and then immediately closing a solution no longer causes an occasional crash.  Thanks, Brett.
• The command-line Source Search command, ess.exe, now includes a check command,  which can tell whether an index is corrupt, and attempt to repair it.  Thanks, Eddie.

As always, this upgrade is available for free to all licensed users, and as a 30-individual-day trial for everyone else.  You can download it from the gallery or the download page.

Announcing Entrian Source Search 1.7.11, which:

• Improves the UI on High DPI machines.  Thanks, Mark.
• Fixes a bug introduced in version 1.7.10 whereby path~names~containing~tildes could be added to the index with a \\?\UNC \\?\path \\?\prefix, which would prevent Visual Studio being able to open them.  Thanks, Martin.

You can download this new release from the download page or the gallery.

I’m very pleased to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.7.10, with a pile of fixes and small enhancements:

• Fixed a crash (PathTooLongException) when you have source files with pathnames longer than 260 characters.  Thanks, Uwe.
• Fixed a bug whereby opening a XAML file that wasn’t part of the current solution would fail.  Thanks, Cyril.
• The size of the Source Search toolbar and dialogs is no longer insanely big on some High DPI machines after you log in with Remote Desktop.  Thanks, Brett.
• Relaxed the Fuzzy rules to be slightly more fuzzy; previously ‘state’ wasn’t a fuzzy match for ‘status’, and now it is.  Thanks, Patrick.
• The crash dialog now remembers your email address.  Thanks, Jan.
• Installing Source Search as an adminstrator now correctly makes it available for all non-admin users.  Thanks, Igor.
• Fixed a typo on the New Index dialog.  Thanks, Sam.
• If there’s a crash while loading the settings, the settings file is no longer kept locked by the crashed process.  Thanks, Daniel.
• Opening an index for writing is now quicker than in previous versions.
• The crash dialog now points out that you can redact the crash dump before sending it, in case there’s anything sensitive in there.

As always, this upgrade is available for free to all licensed users, and as a 30-individual-day trial for everyone else.  You can download it from the gallery or the download page.

I’m very pleased to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.7.9, with one new feature and one bugfix:

• The new Autocreate feature is great for teams.  It provides a single, central way to say to Source Search, “Whenever anyone opens this solution (or any solution under a given source directory), create an index automatically.”  So you don’t have the whole team being prompted to create indexes – it just happens.  See the “Index autocreation” section of the manual (down at the bottom of that page) to learn how it works.  Thanks, Brett and Igor.
• The bugfix: Source Search is very careful not to interfere with any other process that want to read and write your source files.  But there was a race condition – if a file was quickly opened for reading, closed, then opened again for writing, Source Search could get in the way and cause the write to fail.  That loophole has now been closed.  Thanks, Kurt.

As always, this upgrade is available for free to all licensed users, and as a 30-individual-day trial for everyone else.  You can download it from the gallery or the download page.

I’m very pleased to announce Entrian Attach 1.4.5, which fixes the following bug:

• If you have a conditional attachment rule set up for an executable, and that executable starts under a user account that your Visual Studio doesn’t have permission to debug, and the conditional attachment rule fails, you used to get a permission error.  Now, Entrian Attach stays quiet. Thanks, Jools.

You can download this new release from the download page or the gallery.

I’m pleased to announce Entrian Attach 1.4.4, which fixes a crash bug:

• If you have a conditional attachment rule set up for an executable, and that executable starts with a command line that doesn’t match the rule but is longer than about 900 characters, Entrian Attach no longer crashes.  Thanks, Marc.
