The " last rebuild reason" and other DEBUG screens.

Post by ChrisGreaves »

Hello Void.
In Being able to search while Everything is indexing you suggest:-
"What is the last rebuild reason shown under Tools -> Debug -> Statistics -> Build -> Last Rebuild Reason?". I trot off to "Tools -> Debug -> Statistics -> Build" and am met with this screen:-
Statistics_01.png
Statistics_01.png (26.5 KiB) Viewed 1755 times
I know that you know where to find "Last Rebuild Reason" but I do not know!

Might we have some means to search this pop-up screen (and, naturally, any other pop-up screen that displays data from our system)?

I tried Alt-E(dit), F(ind); the <F3> key, and then found that at simple Ctrl-A and paste into the ever-open Notepad.exe allowed me to find debugging data.

This is not a high priority at all, but I suspect that I am going to find similar screens, so if it is just a matter of modifying the display-debug-information routine once, it will have superb effects across the population.

Thanks, Chris

Thanks Horst. It is the Tools, Debug, Statistics pane that I reproduced in my earlier post.
I know where the text item is held.
My point is ("Might we have some means to search this pop-up screen") that in this pane, and any other pane based on the same technology, there appears to be no simple mechanized way to find the specific item.
Cheers, Chris

Ctrl-A in the Statistics display
Copy into any Editor and search.
If you want it often, a simple AHK script can also do this job

Improving the formatting of the statistics page is on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, this page is raw text.
There are sections and each section has a header.
Build is a specific section that contains information about the last database build.
