Some wishes for next Code Blocks build

[dirk_1980]

Hi.

I would be pleased if your would better evaluate the compiling routine instructions (#ifdef #else #endif) .

That would significantly improve the project.
Then also the code-Complition and the finding Functions system would better run.


Save (ctrl-S) with backup is also helpful, that make each editor already since > 20 years, only your not.


So please do something (fast), i am thinking already to change to NetBeans or Eclipse, even though this is not what i want.

Best wishes,
Dirk

Not easy - as discussed many times... Search the forums for details...

Already available as plugin... just use it.

Hi.
Nobody said that it is easy.
The main question is, is somebody working on it and when will it be availible?
This is a must have feature, essential these days

I know the autosave plugin, it is working. I mean -> after 2min create backup & save file.
But if i save a file on my own, the is no *.bak file.
Or i dont understand you and there is a plugin i don't know.

Here is my comments:
This is no easy, even the commercial product "visual assist" do badly


My question :

Does NetBeans or Eclipse do a better job? Since both of them were open source product, we can use these code for reference.

Hi.

NetBeans and Eclipse are doing a perfect job, but i don't like them.

If i could program in C++, i would help you, because i like Code::Bolcks.

This can be easily implemented, because C::B copies the original-file to a temp-file, until the changes are successfully written.
If we just do not delete it, and name it differently ("name~" on linux and probably "name.bak" on win instead of "name.cbTemp") it should be done.

There is just one problem I see: wxWidgets does not copy all of the files access-rights (at least not a changed group on linux) correctly.
That means the backup-file might have set access-rights and/or user and/or group incorrect.

Hi,
thats sounds great.

I use Windows XP and i don't know anything about file right management.
So for me it will work, but Linux sould work too.
