This tab of the user options dialog is used to configure options that apply to the Output pane.

 

Clear output pane before building: When checked, the Output pane is cleared at the beginning of each build.  If unchecked, the Output pane is appended to, and existing output from a previous build is not cleared.

 

Show timestamp when logging to output pane: If checked, a timestamp is displayed for each step logged to the Output pane.

 

Maximum length of output in output pane: Specifies the maximum number of lines to display in the Output pane.  If the number of lines logged to the view exceeds this value, lines at the beginning will be removed.  Enter 0 to prevent lines from being removed from the output pane.

 

Automatically scroll output pane to show most recent output: If checked, the Output pane will be scrolled during a build to show the most recent build output.

 

Note: Even with this option checked, if the user scrolls the output pane up while a build is active, the output pane will not be automatically scrolled until the build is canceled, fails or completes and is restarted, or the user scrolls back to the end of the output pane.

 

Font/size: Specifies the font to use in the Output pane.
