save/copy messages in message window?

[MoonKid]

How is it possible to copy/save messages from the message window (build messages).

I can not save build-errors to clipboard and post them anywhere. Understand?

I am using
Code::Blocks 1.0 revision 2062 Build: Feb 23 2006, 03:02:53 - wx2.6.2 (Windows, ANSI)

Hello,

Did you try in the Build log tab to click the right mouse button, chose e.g., Select All and then Copy?

Best wishes,
Michael

The context menu on the build-tab shows
- tabs at top
- tabs at bottom
- show/hide >

context menu in the message window (where the messages are) is not possible.

The context menu on the build-tab shows

Not on the tab, but inside the window .

Not on the tab, but inside the window .

inside the window I can get no contextmenu. There is nothing!

Inside the Build log window and not in the Build messages windows. Here it works fine.

Best wishes,

The build log window works fine. That is not the problem. But it does not help me.

I need the clean extracted messages from the build messages window.

Ah, ok. Then AFAIK it is not possible.

Luckily, it is not
Would be quite bad if that was possible.

Well, it is possible since revision 2312.

What a great idea...
When we tell someone having the typical "XXX does not compile" problem to post the build log, we will now get those absolutely useless build messages 50% of the time... brilliant.

"useless" ?!?
You know, they 're the very same messages that appear in the build log.
And, yes, I know they don't contain the actual command-lines. You have to tell people to enable full command-line logging anyway, so you might as well clarify that you 're interested in the build log and not the build messages...

... You have to tell people to enable full command-line logging anyway ...

i would propose to set "full comandline logging" as default setting anyways

That's why I suggested making the full commandline the default a few months ago. It is bad enough that people have to enable "normal" output explicitely.

I mean, OK... if someone absolutely does not want to see the compiler messages, I can even understand why someone would want beautified messages (although you don't need to read them if you don't want...), and they're handy for jumping to an error line, too.

But if you give them the ability to copy the beautified messages, then people will really do so.
As people post "Compiling foo.cpp" now when asking for help building something, they will now post beautified error messages. I don't think that is any good.
