Multiple Windows

DebugView

Managing Multiple Windows

DebugView allows you to open multiple DebugView windows on the same computer, allowing you to capture debug output from different computers into different windows. This is an alternative to connecting to multiple computers from the same DebugView window, and is desirable when you wish to simultaneously view different output sources.

By default, when you start the first DebugView window on a computer it connects with the local computer. This means that it captures and displays any debug output generated on the computer. You can open a second instance of DebugView either by starting it again, or by selecting the File|New Window menu entry.

You can use the Computer|Connect Local menu entry to connect DebugView to the local computer, and choose the Computer|Disconnect menu entry to disconnect from the local computer when it is selected as the active computer view within a DebugView window. Note that only one DebugView instance can be connected to any computer at a given time.

If you start a new DebugView window by executing the program again the configuration settings DebugView uses reflect those of the last DebugView window that was closed. If you start a new DebugView window using the File|New Window menu entry, the configuration settings are adopted from the window in which you select the menu item.
