codesnippets.bat

[killerbot]

ON my windows system, in the output dir now popped up a codesnippets.bat (since the codesnippets updates).

Why does that have to be there, or is it a left over of a experiment.
I think the best thing would be if it is not there. 1 executable should be enough, so no others. (hehe those old darn batch files, the good old days ...)

EDIT : double clicking it, just gives me a lot of error boxes, and double clicking the exe in the plugins complains it doesn't find  wxscintilla.dll

So one more extra file is added.

One Zero Byte file is coming up with Official Distribution for last couple of weeks which is surely a leftover. Just open <C::B_Dir>\share\CodeBlocks\plugins directory. You'll find a file named sta00336

If you cd to .../src/devel then double click it, it actually runs CodeSnippets. Its a wrapper around the plugin.

It derives from an experiment to get wxAUI to run CodeSnippets reliably on Linux without snapping it into a dock window whenever you left click on a menu item.

wxAUI simply will not leave a Linux floating window alone. Any click on the main menu will dock all the windows whether you want it or not.

It's not a CodeSnippet's problem. It even happens with the floating debugger windows.

So for linux users, I left the wrapper in ../share/codeblocks/plugins. If a linux user wants to run CodeSnippets as a floating window without wxAUI interference they'll have to run the wrapper from ../share/codeblocks/plugins.

Since I test the code for both linux and MSW, I tested an equivalent .exe also (same code, different name).

The .bat & .sh files were just easy ways for me to run and test it. They also provide a starting point to explain to Linux users how to run as a floating window.

Oh, I forgot to mention. As soon as wxAUI fixes this Linux bug, we can do away with the CodeSnippets floating window work-around.

But without it, Linux users will have to bite the bullet, live with the bug, and be unable to use a floating CodeSnippets.

From my perspective, it annoys the hell out of me not to be able to have floating windows and use the main menu at the same time.
