Terminal window doesn't open #23

Open TheConundrum opened 9 years ago

TheConundrum commented 9 years ago

I have a command which is set to run the file in the terminal (shell = true) however the output still appears in the original output window even with the setting turned on.

The shell option is supposed to be used when there is a need for shell functionality ( like bash scripting or environment variables ). To open a new terminal window, you'd have to go to the packages settings (not the per-project settings, the global ones) and change the Shell command to execute the terminal program instead. I don't know which system you're using, but if you happen to use Linux and have xterm you can enter xterm -hold -e and it'll open a new terminal window. I can't help you in OSX or Windows though, but I'm sure there is a program/command too. I admit that there may be a use for opening a new window instead of showing everything in the package's output pane, so I'll see this as a feature request.
