How can I prevent console from clearing after debug?

When I run debug, it prints the usual barfage in the console window OK.  The problem is that the console window clears just before it uploads the program.  So after a debug run, the console just says"MSP430: Program Loaded...".  How can I tell CC not to clear the console window so I can read all that important info?  I could shoot a video with a point-and-shoot but that seems like a silly work-around.

    Is this build output messages? There are separate consoles for build, debug messages and C/IO...

  • Ah, indeed they do, thanks.  The Console tabs all have the same name (ie, "Console").  I was using the Debug (tree)  tabs to go between debug and CIO consoles but apparently not the Build console.  That must be accessed via the pull-down menu in the console window.  Thx.

  • If you want you can open multiple console views and you can pin them so that they don't switch on you.  To the left of monitor button on the console view toolbar is a pin button.  To the right of is is the new console view button.

    The views will still have the name Console on the tab but just under that it will say what the context is.

  • Thanks once again, sir.  Yes, "pinning" my console view tabs did the trick.  Now it doesn't change from build to debug every time I do a build.
