View menu

Clear Log

Clears all text in the log window. This menu item is available when there is text in the log window. See Clear Log tool.

Collapse All

Collapses all the text in the log window so that only the top level entries (i.e. gmake runs and loaded log files) are visible. This menu item is available when there is text in the log window.

Toolbar

Controls whether the Toolbar is visible. Hiding the toolbar reduces the amount of screen space maketool needs.

Statusbar

Controls whether the Statusbar is visible. Hiding the statusbar reduces the amount of screen space maketool needs.

Errors

Controls whether lines of text which are classified as errors by the filtering engine, are visible in the log window.

Warnings

Controls whether lines of text which are classified as warnings by the filtering engine, are visible in the log window.

Information

Controls whether lines of text which are classified as information (i.e. all lines which are not classified as errors or warnings, and do not have summaries like compile lines) by the filtering engine, are visible in the log window.

Summary

Controls whether lines of text which are not classified as warnings or error but have short summaries (e.g. "Compiling fred.c") generated by the filtering engine, are visible in the log window.

Indent Directories

If this checkbox is on, the text of recursive multiple-directory gmake runs in the log window is indented according to depth in the directory structure. Each directory is accompanied by a collapse/expand button so that entire sub-trees can be conveniently hidden with the click of a button. See the Collapse All menu item.
