10 Quick SmartInspect Console tips

Inspired by Nick Bradbury’s post about 10 Tiny FeedDemon Tips, here are 10 quick SmartInspect Console features you might not know about, even if you are a long-time SmartInspect user:

  1. In the Details toolbox (F7), you can see the time difference, time offset and timestamp of a log entry as well as the elapsed time between multiple log entries
  2. Use / and * on your keyboard to recursively collapse and expand log entries in the views
  3. Use <tab> and <shift+tab> to quickly switch between multiple views
  4. You can easily reorganize your views and categories in the View Categories toolbox with drag and drop
  5. Double-click on the status bar panels to quickly edit the related options (AutoView rules as well as TCP options)
  6. Right-click on the status bar panels to open context-sensitive menus
  7. Press <Ctrl+-> to reset the indentation level of the log entries of the current view
  8. Double-click on an item in the Call Stack toolbox to quickly jump to the related log entry in the current view
  9. Double-click on a thread in the ProcessFlow toolbox to create a new view for that thread
  10. Hovering the mouse cursor over a data point in the Watches Graph shows the exact details of the watch entry

I hope this was useful! We will soon publish a list with 10 not so well-known features of the SmartInspect libraries, too.
