Forums Bug Reports /logview command

Thanks for your bug report. This is the intended behaviour. The /logview command uses a special custom window named @View to view logs, so you can only view one log file at a time. The purpose of the /logview command is to mimic the View button in the Logs dialog.

Ah, right! Hmm. I can't seem to reproduce this here. I created several windows to match those in your image but when I close the @View window, the Window folder stays open.

Do you have any of the settings enabled in the "Group" or "Order" dialogs in the Window menu?

When it was reproduced, @View was at the top as in the first image?

Yes, the @View window is at the top of the list. When I close the @View window, either with Alt+Z, clicking the X close button, etc. the Window folder stays open here.

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, I have still not been able to reproduce the issue. Which version of Windows are you using?

Okay, I am using the same version of Windows here. That is puzzling. There is no code that collapses the node in this context, so it must be something Windows is doing automatically for some reason.

I notice in your video that the folders are not showing the "count" of open windows, which is a default setting. Did you disable the "Show Count" option in the Treebar popup menu? The reason I ask is that I tested this with a clean install of mIRC, with no scripts/addons/etc., so all of the settings are set to defaults.

Hi Khaled,
To help you I created a new video, where I show that I am connected to 2 networks and I switch between the two networks and where I open @windows and that when closing them, the Window folder is collected.

I also made an example with the sort buttons option active / disable and you can see that the @AAA window is always at the top as if it were in alphabetical order.

I hope again to be helping you.

Okay. I have still not been able to reproduce this. Here are the exact steps I am taking:

1. Copy mirc.exe to a new, empty folder
2. Create an empty mirc.ini in this folder that contains:
[about]
portable=yes
3. Copy servers.ini to the folder
4. Run the mirc.exe
5. Enter nicknames in the Options/Connect dialog
6. Connect to a server with: /server gamesurge
7. Join channels with: //join #thisisatest1 | /join #thisisatest2
8. Connect to another server with: /server -m freenode
9. Join channels with: //join #thisisatest1 | /join #thisisatest2
10. Select first server window
11. Open several @windows with: //window -z @a | /window -z @b | /window -z @c
12. Select first server window
13. Open the @test window with: //window -znkg1 @Test
14. Right-click on Switchbar icon of @Test and select "close" to close the window

Do the above steps reproduce the issue for you?

If they do not, can you change them to reproduce the issue?

Thank you but I am still unable to reproduce the issue.

I notice that instead of windows @a @b and @c in the Window list, you have AAA1 and AAA45, without the @ prefix. Which /window switches did you use to create AAA1 and AAA45?

Can you create a list of steps (not a video), like the steps in my previous post, that reproduce the issue for you?

I will then follow your list of steps.
