Any way to get timestamps and build times to work with CMake projects?

Open dbarnard-phioptics opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

I love this extension and have used it for many years. I only use CMake projects in Visual Studio now. Tweak2022 manages to put timestamps in the output window during builds, but unfortunately, it messes up the text (never shows the line saying build complete, for example, so I can't tell when it is done). Any way that VSColorOutput64 could put timestamps that work better than Tweak2022's? Thanks.

I'm not quite following what you're requesting. Could you mock-up and example?

image vs settings

With a CMake project, none of the timestamp-related settings seem to do anything.

Using Tweak2022, it manages to insert timestamps okay, but then it does not display any indicator when the build completes. image

I would not have expected that. I wonder if it is a Msbuild notification I'm keying off of. (been quite a while since I visited that part of the code).

I thought that it was Tweaks2022 that allowed the time stamps in the output window, but it might be a VS2022 (preview?) feature instead. Regardless, it doesn't tell me when builds finish, so it's not very helpful.
