Not possible to change the resource file extension

[omlk]

Hi

I do not understand why it is not possible to change the resource file extension to the resource extensions in the extended resource settings and why the extension is not by default as .obj or .o

Why do you want to change it? Why do you want to use obj or o?

[bobsadino]

There is no problem  whatsoever if u change the fucking extension

an extension can be fucking anything

What is matters is the format

 format may be ‘res’, ‘rc’, or ‘coff’

-O to change to desired format

Holyshit! And why the hell u throw rc.exe(microsoft fucking visul studio) flags to WindRes

Thats Why u get .RES lol

@bobsadino:
Why are you cursing?
Why aren't you explaining your requests with details, so we could make a decision if they are valid or not?
Until you change your behavior your requests will be ignored (at least by me).

And you're even not the original poster

Goto settings -> compiler -> Other settings
Click "Advanced options..."
Select "Compile Win32 resource files"
Adjust as you like.

Be careful. Not knowing what you do exactly in the advanced options may screw the compiler framework and make C::B unusable.

I did, but the problem is that there is a variable that substitutes all resource files(if is res1.rc, res2.rc ...) with an extension .res, which as I pointed out above, does not fit me.

I showed that I have a problem and in order to solve it I asked why there is a prohibition on changing the resource file extension, but instead of answering and helping, I have to explain something else. The information in the first publication and the next is quite enough for professionals to understand the essence of the problem. If you do not belong to the professionals or developers of the editor - please do not ask unnecessary questions.

I do not want to offend anyone - I'm trying to help myself and also developers make the editor more versatile.

So you want to turn this discussion personal, fine, I won't participate.
Until I get an answer to my questions you're getting ignored!

You have the code, so you can change it to your liking.
Just keep in mind that you'll have to answer these same questions, if you decide to provide a patch and want it included in the official version.
