Settings - Console

Shell

Shell

Specifies default shell commad line. If empty, ConsoleZ will use COMSPEC environment variable as default shell.

Startup dir

Specifies default initial directory for shells.

Start Windows console hidden

Launch the underlying console app hidden. It prevents a flick in the Windows Taskbar.
Warning: some console applications, e.g. PowerShell, that open GUI windows may not work correctly when this option is checked.

Update timeouts

On change

Update interval (in ms) after ConsoleZ detects a change in the hidden console window. When a change is detected, ConsoleZ will defer screen update for the specified interval.
This is needed to improve performance during fast changes in the hidden console. Realistic values are 10-50.

Periodic

Periodic update interval (in ms). This value specifies how often ConsoleZ performs screen updates, even when there is no change detected. ConsoleZ sometimes cannot detect changes in the hidden console window (usually by old DOS applications)
This value should be larger than 'On change' update interval. Realistic values are in the 50-500 range.
