Output window

The output window is a child window used to capture the output from user tools, find in files output, scripting output, version control (in UEStudio), and various other areas of functionality that may write messages or output. You can toggle the output window in the Layout tab.

All output sent to the output window will automatically scroll so that the view of the output will always be at the bottom (most recent). However, you can configure this behavior by unchecking the "Scroll output" option in the output window context menu.

Generally, any command that results in new output being written to the output window will result in the output window first being cleared before the new output is written.

UltraEdit includes two output windows, while UEStudio includes four. You can choose which window output is written to by clicking its tab at the bottom of the main output window.

Double clicking on a line containing a file name and line number will cause UltraEdit / UEStudio to attempt to open the file at the line number. If the file name is fully qualified the file name will be located and the number after this will be used for the line number. If the file name is not fully qualified UltraEdit / UEStudio will attempt to determine the file name from the first word in the line that contains a period. UltraEdit / UEStudio will then attempt open the specified file relative to the directory of the active file. If the file does not exist in the directory of the active file, UltraEdit / UEStudio will try and open the file from the project directory if it is specified in project settings. If the file still is not located, UltraEdit / UEStudio will then attempt to resolve it to the "default path for relative paths" setting, accessed via the output window context menu.

You can press Enter on a file path while focus is in the output window, and UltraEdit will position to the file / line while keeping focus in the output window. If, however, you press Ctrl + Enter on a file path, then UltraEdit will position to the file / line and move focus to the edit window.
