Console2 - Description from the site, "Console is a Windows console window enhancement. Console features include: multiple tabs, text editor-like text selection, different background types, alpha and color-key transparency, configurable font, different window styles":
It's a Windows console enhancement utility -- multi-tab, that can mix with anything really, such as cygwin, power shell, DOS command console. And the console window is resizable, customizable. Very handy.
I recently faced a couple of its short comings, however:
- It can't find "telnet" for example. It's because it's a 32-bit program. (see detailed explanation here.)
- There is no "open here" in explorer context menu.
Solution for #2 is to get this version from here. It adds the context menu like this:
To migrate the existing console () setting to this version (installer version), copy "console.xml" to this directory:
%APPDATA%\Console
which is,
C:\Users\[USER_NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Console
This console2 branch does add the context menu, but it won't solve the issue #1 described above. It does find telnet, but it crashes if I just run "telnet" without any parameters. And, it adds more than one context menu for Console.
