Getting started

Get control of your Visual Studio output in a few simple steps

1

Install

Install Niah Text Filter for Visual Studio extension via the Visual Studio Marketplace.

2

Launch

Launch Visual Studio.

3

Open

Open a solution. The Niah tool window should open automatically. To learn more about Visual Studio's window layouts, please refer to the Support page.

4

Enable output window

Ensure the output window is visible. Since Niah relies on the VS output window, it must be visible for Niah to work (menu: View | Output). This is true for all operations that Niah supports – debugging, building, and finding-in-files.

5

Extend

Download the sample code to embed in your project to get the most out of Niah. The additional code is required for Unity support, higher precision timestamps, navigating to the source code line that wrote each output line, and splitting debug instances into separate tree nodes.
