I don't know how to redirect this output on Windows. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/system_properties.html This FAQ explains how to start XXE with a console on Windows: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/faq.html#display_exception_in_console --> The very last thing XXE does before terminating is to write the XXE_user_preferences_dir/preference.properties file. This text file starts with a date: --- #XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition 5.2.1 #Wed May 09 20:22:24 CEST 2012 ... autoSaveInterval=-300 filterDuplicateIDs=true ignoreCase=false ... --- If this date is the one the user exited from XXE, then this guarantees that, from its point of vue, XXE has unlocked the opened documents before terminating. If this date is the date of the preceding XXE session, then this indicates that XXE silently crashed while terminating and thus that it probably didn't unlock the opened documents. ===================================================== XXE user preferences directory is: * $HOME/.xxe5/ on Linux. * $HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor5/ on the Mac. * %APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\ on Windows XP, Vista and 7. Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\ on Windows XP. C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\ on Windows Vista and 7. If you cannot see the "Application Data" directory using Microsoft Windows File Manager, turn on Tools>Folder Options>View>File and Folders>Show hidden files and folders. ===================================================== -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
