Search the forums.

ahh, so there is a way, I'll have a search, thx... ;)
but what about the Ctrl-Tab problem ??? :(
EDIT:
so I found the options "Auto-generate filename prefix" and "Auto-generate filename extension"... :lol:
but it seems to be the problem like with Ctrl-Tab !!!
the check boxes have no effect, plus it generates the extension ".exe" instead of ".dll" !!!
to illustrate some screenshots:
Auto-generate enabled and extension entered:
Auto-generate enabled and no extension entered:
Auto-generate disabled and extension entered:

let's say I'm compiling a DLL called "Irrlicht.dll", now the lib file is named "libIrrlicht.dll.a"...
but I don't want the ".dll" between "libIrrlicht" and ".a" !!!
now I either need to rename the lib manually or change the project settings for all my projects... :?
is there a way to disable the ".dll" for the lib name ???

Since after a SVN version, it becomes the case.
I do not want that too.
The same problem: how to remove the middle of the ".dll"?
Thanks!

Morten: can you see now that we do not like that behavior?

...no?!
The point is:
The behavior we had before did not work for the cases I told you. In addition users complained.
The behavior we have now works on all cases but is less "intuitive". In addition users complain.
So - what's the better choice? Make it an option? What's the default value then?

The default behavior should be that we have always seen and expected: file.dll and libfile.a.
When the user wants to create a non-as-common-as-a-plain-.dll-file (like .Plugin), he/she should then specify it somehow using a non-yet-existent-option. Splitting the output file name into name and extension fields with, probably, a checkbox saying something like "Use this extension instead" could help. If the checkbox is not selected, the extension field should not be editable. An extra read-only output field could be added to show the user the final result of the selected options (probably two: one for the file name, and one for the library name).
