LibConError
Hello, when i run qonsole, open it with hotkey, I will get error:
window title: LibConError AttachConsole() Failure Errorlevel: 0 A_LastError: 6 Will now Exit.
i have options: abort, retry, ignore. When try to click on retry, console appears normally as expected, then it is working fine until closing and re-opening qonsole
windows 10, build: 17763.618
Hey there! Thanks for reporting this. That tends to happen when the console is delayed or failed to start. Are you consistently getting this error?
Also, what are your settings?
yes, it's on every start of console and triggering it with hotkey. setup: button: F12 transparency 5% w 1440 h 400 centered, bottom no startup arguments vertical offset 0 animation speed 1, delay 0, dx 25 bg color 1A1A1A, transparency 100 speed 100 run qonsole on start, ctrl+v pasting reduce memory usage i am starting powershell instead of cmd
I have also found that on earlier version it was not happening
Interesting, could you send me the last version number where this issue does not occur? Thanks 👍
Hmm... I just looked at the source of v1.4.5 and v1.4.2. There is no difference other than the High DPI scaling support I've added. I could find anything related to attaching to console... This might be related to issue #8 ... Do you by chance have the settings file you used for both v1.4.2 and 1.4.5 ? 😀
well, I only replaced exe file. but it's happening now with this settings, what does it mean? that error? I think that it have something to do with console open time. (powershell load take longer than regular cmd) and qonsole assume it's running before it really is? also when i type exit, next time i press hotkey, it show error too.
I think you are right with the timing issue. I'll make a custom build later tonight. And you can let me know if it works better or not. 👍
try this? Qonsole_v1.4.5c.zip I did simple increase for time waited for the cmd window to appear to 3 seconds.
thanks, but it's not fixed.. also when I press Ignore error, it will cycle some command errors: AttachConsole Failure, getFontSize Failure, getConsoleSize Failure, getConsoleHandle Failure, setConsoleSize Failure
no, it's same for cmd and powershell, but if i quickly hit hotkey after reloading qonsole, error is not shown. but only sometimes. I think that I need to hit hotkey in 0.5s accurately :D
Hmmm I cant reproduce this reliably. Could you try with Console2? https://sourceforge.net/projects/console/files/console-devel/2.00/Console-2.00b148-Beta_32bit.zip/download
Sure, it it help: I am on Windows 10 Pro 64bit, I have installed Hyper-V, some additional windows packages like SMBv1 support, and other networking and IT oriented things, WSL (Linux subsystem), OpenVPN... Maybe Hyper-V and WSL can affect it?
It could be WSL. Either way, there is a lag causing the attach function to fail. I'm considering a rewrite (possibly in C#) and cutting WinXP support, have Win7 as a minimum.
Well, windows XP is deprecated and I don't know person who is using it as IT guy :)
Maybe you can implement switch for cmd/powershell/bash(wsl) with specific linux you choose in reworked version ;)
They all use the same new console as far as I know. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/orphan-topics/ws.11/mt427362(v=ws.11) I haven't experimented much with WSL much but it should all be pretty much the same in terms of handling the console window. I will take note of this suggestion for the rewritten version. thanks 👍
If it's a lagging issue, and this is ahk, can I (naïvely) suggest something like a winwaitor waitwinactive call?
Thanks 👍
I already have a WinWaitActive but perhaps it never gets 'Active'. So maybe I'll try winwait instead. If not, maybe an asynchronous rewrite of the initialization part would mitigate this.
