The help file for Console2 isn't opening on my Win8 or Win7 VM and I'm looking to see what command line options it supports.

Basically I have integrated it a bit with Visual Studio as a 'External' tool with this command...

Command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Console2\Console.exe
Arguments: -d "$(ProjectDir)"
Initial directory: $(ProjectDir)

But it launches a new window every time. I was hoping to make it launch a new window only if Console2 isn't running, otherwise simply open a new tab.

    Right-click the help file, choose *Properties*, and then click the *Unblock* button at the bottom of the dialog. – Ken White Feb 03 '15 at 16:53
  • VS makes no attempt to keep track of started tools. Use Alt+Tab. – Hans Passant Feb 03 '15 at 17:49
  • @HansPassant That doesn't help much when I want it to have Console2 opened to current project path. Additionally, it is often the app itself (i.e. Console2) that can check for previously running instances of itself and make it behave properly. – Terry Feb 04 '15 at 17:42
  • @KenWhite Thanks, will try that and see what command line options I have available to me. – Terry Feb 04 '15 at 17:42
