cbDiff plugin
daniloz:
First of all, great job!!! This is a really nice plugin... Thank you!!!
I like the new features... However I found some bugs:
- when I use the File|Diff files... menu entry, I got a new tab, but empty. I only get the diff if I resize the tab. I think it's just a refresh missing... :-)
- if I use the "Diff with..." context menu here, nothing happens, i.e. no new tab opened after I select the other file in the list.
And have some suggestions also:
- for me, it would be more natural to have the "Diff with..." context menu when clicking on the tab, instead of on the editor (I'm ok in having both, of course).
- is it possible to have a last entry in the file selection list (from the context menu) to browse for a file? I mean, I'd like to compare an opened file with one that is outside the project, so I'd like to browse the disk for it...
- how difficult it is to have the mouse wheel working on the file selection list (from the context menu)?
Thank's in advance!

Which OS do you use? Both of them work for me on Ubuntu, it's probably a Windows problem. I'll look in to.
Now to the suggestions:

Yes, this was javmss suggestion too, but i didn't found a possibility to access this menu from a plugin. I'll look again, maybe i can find another way

Well, i could make a general diff menu, used by all context menus, where you have all three options.
It would something like this: Diff with... -> Open file.. -> submenu with all open files
-> Project file.. -> submenu with all project files
-> Disk file... -> file selection dialog

As far as i know this is not possible, because wxWidget uses the native menus.

Yeah... Windows Vista 32bit here... :-(

That would be a pretty good solution...

Anyway, thank you again for the plugin and for the support... ;-)

fixed and implemented in 1.1.1 (see startpost!)

I looked in to the source of codeblocks, but now there is no way to access this contextmenu.
However, it could be made accessible by:
*adding a new ModuleType(mtEditorTab) in globals.h
*adding the method "Manager::Get()->GetPluginManager()->AskPluginsForModuleMenu(mtEditorTab, &pop);" in editormanager.cpp's OnPageContextMenu
That would be a simple task, but maybe the devs don't want that plugins can access this menu, because else it will be overloaded just like the editors context menu.

Probably no one have asked this feature, so there is no way to access it :)
