I am using the command prompt window. I don’t like the output bar because I can’t see any of the output until the program is finished running, which can be a problem for big operations.

I am now curious: if it is not possible to keep the command prompt window open, is there some way to make the output window show the output while the program is running, instead of waiting until it finishes?

If you use the Command Prompt window, you can run cmd.exe with /k option. See examples:

(Compile by Visual C++)

The Output Bar should open as soon as you run external commands. Did you try the Output Bar open before you run the tool (View menu > Output).
