Usability issues
smartmobili:
Let me hijack this post and add what I would like to see in CB :
A) In a file dialog when you add a library path for instance, please keep the last path because everytime you want to add a new path
you need to restart from home directory.
B) Add notion of target, for instance I am developping for Windows CE and we have different SDK so I would like to have a Combobox allowing
me to choose between those SDK (Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile 6).
From a CB point of view it means to be able to choose two different compilers and to be able to switch
from them easily.
Then those compilers settings should be save in the output project.
C) Possibility to associate compiler(s) with a project, for instance I have declared a new compiler and when I am adding a new option,
GNU GCC compiler is selected by default.
This is not what I want since I am working with another compiler so I have to select again and again my new compiler everytime.
I can see the 'Set as default option' but it seems it will set the default compiler for all projects whil I want it to be the default compiler
only for the project I am working on.
It would so great to have these features.

That's why Code::Blocks features the concept of global variables in combination with usual compiler variables.

If I understand right, it would be enough to have different build targets, with different compilers and different settings for includes, libs, defines etc.

This problem has been discussed, again, recently. Sometimes you try to open a file in CB, but all you get is an empty document. I faced this problem when trying to check the file xmltest.cpp of TinyXML. I was trying different encodings, but I could not find one that would really open the file and display its contents.

I can't reproduce this with xmltest.cpp downloaded from sourceforge. Can you post the file and/or encoding settings you are having trouble with. Also, what's your locale set to?

I tried that with Code::Blocks 5432 in a Dutch version of Windows XP Professional. Just in case, I attach the xmltest.cpp file that always opened as an empty file.
