I’m pleased to announce Entrian Attach 1.5.2, which fixes two bugs:

• The exit code of the debugged process is now matched by the shim process, so the calling process sees the right exit code.
• Fixed an occasional crash when there was an error loading the settings.

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

I’m pleased to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.8.5, which adds one feature and fixes some bugs:

• You can now right-click on a hit in the results list and copy the source text to the clipboard. Thanks, Jeff and Martin.
• The Dock hint now shows up properly in High Contrast mode. Thanks, Martin.
• Fixed an occasional crash in get_CommandBars when closing Visual Studio straight after starting it.
• Added Ctrl+Shift+F4 to the tab tooltip..

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

I’m pleased to announce Entrian Inline Watch 1.0.18, which is compatible with all versions of Visual Studio, not the just the most recent, which was erroneously the case for 1.0.17. Sorry about that!

You can download this release from the Download page or the Marketplace (VS 2015-2019) / Marketplace (VS 2022).

I’m pleased to announce Entrian Inline Watch 1.0.17, which fixes an intermittent startup crash. Thanks, Martin and Dmytro.

You can download this release from the Download page or the Marketplace (VS 2015-2019) / Marketplace (VS 2022).

I’m pleased to announce Entrian Inline Watch 1.0.16, which fixes some problems with value display, mostly that C# and VB just stopped working in recent versions of Visual Studio 2022:

• Values are once again displayed properly for C# and VB in recent versions of Visual Studio 2022. Thanks, Kat and Anthony.
• Values are correctly displayed for the declarations of local variables and function parameters in C++.
• Values are correctly displayed for explicit ‘this’ access in C++, eg. this->x. Thanks, Josh.

I’m pleased to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.8.4, which fixes these bugs with High DPI displays:

• Paint the incremental search text and the Partial Results warning in the right place on High DPI monitors. Thanks, Joe and Brett.
• Scale the busy spinner with the DPI.
• The Search box no longer gets too narrow. Thanks, Juan.
• The tab control is now always the full width of the window.
• The Welcome dialog no longer has layout glitches. Thanks, Brett.
• The initial hint that suggests docking the window no longer has layout glitches. Thanks, Brett.

…and fixes these other bugs:

• Don’t crash when loading a missing / empty / corrupt search history file. Thanks, Ian.
• Fixed occasional “Package did not load correctly” errors under Visual Studio 2022.

…and adds these features :

• Added Ctrl+Shift+F4 shortcut to close all tabs. Thanks, Jenson.
• Added an ‘Open All Files in Visual Studio’ command to the results list context menu. Thanks, Eddie.

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

I’m very pleased to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.8.3, which adds these features to the command line program ess.exe:

• The returned errorlevel is now more sensible:
  • 0 for success; for the search command an errorlevel of 0 means that some results were found.
  • 1 for a search with no errors but no results.
  • 2 for errors.
• Errors are now written to stderr rather than stdout
• There is now a -showcount switch, which prints the number of hits at the end of the results.

The Visual Studio extension has one new feature:

• The context menu for the results list has new command “Copy list of all filenames (without duplicates)”.

And some bugs have been squashed:

• When loading a solution in Visual Studio 2022, Source Search now correctly loads your index every time, rather than sometimes failing and telling you there’s no index loaded.
• Source files in UTF-8 with no BOM are now much more reliably detected; by default Source Search asks Windows to detect the encoding, and it often gets it wrong for UTF-8 files.
• When Windows says that a file is ASCII-encoded, Source Search now treats it as codepage 1252. If it really is ASCII then that makes no difference, and if Windows has got it wrong (which does happen) and it’s not UTF-8 then codepage 1252 is the most likely encoding.
• Source files containing Zero Width Space (U+200B) codepoints no longer crash or highlight the wrong words in the results list.

You can download this new release from the download page.

I’m pleased to announce new versions of Entrian Source Search, Entrian Attach, and Entrian Inline Watch, all of which now support Visual Studio 2022.

Entrian Source Search and Entrian Attach are shipped as single installers supporting all versions of Visual Studio from 2005 to 2022.

Entrian Inline Watch has three different versions, according to your Visual Studio version – see below.

You can download the release from here or get it from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

(By the way, the next release will support Visual Studio 2022, as will the next releases of Entrian Source Search and Entrian Attach.)

I’m very pleased to announce Entrian Source Search 1.7.21, which includes these fixes and features:
