New feature

[dje]

Hi !

I've submitted feature 3492 to be able to use filespec (* and ?) in Goto file/function dialogs.

That way, you can type in the Goto file dialog
tod*w
to match
plugins\todo\todolistview.cpp
in codeblocks.cbp

Simple, efficient, no side effect, enjoy !! 

The patch 2046 is here

Code Select Expand

Actually I would prefer to add '*' in the beginning and end of the search string by myself.

Hi !

I understand, I would have done it this way too but I thought it was better being consistent with actual behaviour; maybe I could add an option on a configuration panel ?

Hi !

Is there any core developer to apply the patch or reject the feature please ??

Thanks,

Sorry, I'm currently busy trying to fix a segfault. But don't worry, I'm sure your feature will get accepted... eventually

I'll try to have a look at it today.
