Console
SLADE features a console which serves two main purposes:
- Log certain events and actions, which can be useful for troubleshooting
- Offer an interface to use certain obscure or usually not useful commands
The console can be toggled by Ctrl-2 or through the View menu. It can be free-floating or docked in the main window.
Warning: console commands are for users who know what they are doing. If used incorrectly or on the wrong entries, some of them can destroy the content of the entry or otherwise provoke bugs.
Many console commands apply to the entry or entries currently selected in the entry list panel. Some apply only to one selected entry (notably, all those that modify an image, which will only work if said image is being displayed in the entry panel). Others are more general.
Below is a list of valid console commands, with descriptions of the commands and the arguments they take. As this list is not likely to be always be complete, for a full list of console commands, type cmdlist in the SLADE console.
