Tab size setting per project

[daniloz]

Hi All,

IIRC, this has already been discussed here, but I couldn't find it....

Anyway, is it possible right now to set customized tab size's per project?

The use case that I have is that I use codeblocks for several different projects interacting with several different groups, including the codeblocks community and its source code ;-), so I'd like to be able to get the correct tab size for each project, without having to change it every time.

Thx,
daniloz

Sorry I do not understand.
What exactly do you mean with tab-size ?

Sorry if didn't express myself clearly enough... In my head it was bright clear.

TAB size for me is the size of the TAB key, in characters. I could only find the settings in "Settings / Editor / General settings / Editor settings / TAB options / TAB size in spaces".

But that's a global setting for all projects. I'd like to be able to set the TAB size in a per project basis.

Make sense now?

Yes, of course.
Sorry I had the editor tabs in my mind, don't know why.

Not possible unfortunately.
You can probably try the EditorConfig plugin, but I'm not sure if it will work OK.

The EditorTweaks plugin allows you to set tabs on a per editor basis, but you have to set it each time you open a new editor (Edit->Editor Tweaks->Tab Size). It would probably be straightforward enough to adapt that code to do a per project setting (storing some tab info in the project settings file and checking for that setting every time the user opens a new project file).

Wrong. It is possible.

Thats the solution: The one in SVN I mean.

And is it possible to set different source formatter for one project? Actually it seems that source formatter doesn't  respect values setted in editor tweaks.

Indeed, works like a charm. Thanks! 

...and next question: In Notepad++ it's possible to define (globally) the TAB size for each different language (c++, html, java etc.), which I personally find very useful. Is it possible to do the same in codeblocks?

I know that using the EditorConfig I can workaround that by just defining the TAB size for each project individually. However, if a project uses more than one language, it would profit from the per-language setting.

Just asking...

Not possible today, but it could be done by enhancing the editor config plugin.
