Open Dump File - fremag/MemoScope.Net GitHub Wiki

There are many ways to open a dump file:

  • MemoScope's explorer
  • File Explorer
  • Command line

MemoScope's Explorer

In Explorer module, double click on a dump file.

Note: when MemoScope dumps a process, it creates a xml file with information about the dump: dates, times, memory used etc. Extend the Explorer module to display them. If the dump has been created by another program, no infomation is displayed. /img/MemoScope_Explorer_Large.gif

File Explorer

Just drag the dump file from File Explorer and drop it in MemoScope: img/MemoScope_Explorer_DragDrop.gif

It's also possible to associate dmp file extension (right click on it and select "Open wIth...') to MemoScope and then you just have to double click on a file:

Command line

If you start MemoScope from a command line, a dump file path can be added as an argument:

MemoScope.exe F:\dumps\MemoDummy\MemoDummy_2016_11_05_22_56_32.dmp

Cache creation

When you load a dump file for the first time, MemoScope creates a cache (a SQLite database). It takes some time, so be patient.
