[DONE] ES error messages

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.

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?
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.
