In depth
A closer look at ConsoleHoster
ConsoleHoster can prove really useful to those who frequently use the command prompt. It aims to eliminate the disadvantages of the console by providing one-click access to frequently used commands, while allowing you to work with multiple console-based applications at the same time. Each new application that runs in the console can be opened in a new tab and executed with specific arguments. Furthermore, you can easily modify the appearance of the console window by customizing colors for the background, the foreground, text and errors. A major plus is represented by the integrated file explorer, which enables you to insert a file path or its name in the console, saving the time needed to copy it from Windows Explorer and paste it in the command prompt, as you would normally do. With just a click, you can redirect the console to a specific location and add one or more folders to the 'Favorites' list.
