Title: 1.6.2 How to access the console electrum interface? (win7)
Post by: Realpra on March 30, 2013, 05:52:55 PM
I used to hold shift and click the shortcut.

I have also tried -g,  -g gtk,  -gtk, /gui when running it. Does nothing.

What should I do?
(Most unhelpful wiki ever "type $ ./electrum -g gtk".. lol type it where?)

(Why isn't there a button in the client to switch to the console view or 2 shortcuts?)

On Windows, command line support wasn't present in the official releases. In 1.7.1 was, but it has been disabled due to a non-user friendly method.

It is planned to be added again in future versions

You can use the interactive console that has been build into the 'wall' in the releases starting with 1.7.0. The -w and -p flags still work and should also work in 1.6.2. Any other commands won't show output.
