Developer forums (C::B DEVELOPMENT STRICTLY!) > Plugins development
resurrection of old plugins
seb_seb0:
Hello,
I have been using Code::Blocks for more than 2 years now, and during this time I have squirrelled away a few plugins done by other guys.
These plugins are useful (or at least can be, or can be a good sample, depending on who you ask), and since they never reached the trunk repository, they are lost in the depth of the forum.
Therefore I have uploaded them here:
http://www.MegaShare.com/2502645
The list of plugins are:
ColorCoder (author Deschamps: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,8568.0.html)
FileManager (dmoore http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,10060.0.html)
PowerShell (dmoore)
FortranProject (author unknown - let me know if you know it !)
wxSmithPlot (wxSmith extension for MathPlot wxWidgets - author unknown - let me know if you know it !)
OccurenceHighlighter (from danselmi)
QTHelper (from critic - http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,10453.0.html)
SVNInside (author unknown - let me know if you know it !)
wxSmithButton ("speed button" written by rcoll - http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,11978.0.html)
wxSmithImage (written by rcoll - very nice extension to wxSmith)
wxSmithKWIC (written by Cryogen - http://wxsmithaddons.sourceforge.net/)
wxSmithTreeListCtrl (written by rcoll - http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,12020.0.html)
Python Plugin (written by dmoore - http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,4528.0.html)
Nearly all these plugins (except wxKWIC) are forgotten or not far from it, and I find it is a pity.
They can be useful for someone - as a starting point for a new plugin, or as an example, or simply for using it.
Please note that I have successfully built all these plugins with the last nightly (svn 6527) on Windows Vista.
And I would very much like to see someone improving SVNInside and Python Plugin. (I wish I could do it myself - but I have only 24 hours in my day :) - and I want to finish XPMEditor, and then work on wxSmith)
Is it possible to add these plugins in the SVN repository (even if they are not included in the nightly build) ?
Alternatively I can set up a project on berlios / sf when I have a bit more time.

edit: updated the archive (removed maintained plugins: wxKWIC, FileManager, PowerShell, PyPlugin)
killerbot:
well maybe we can analyze them one by one, and see if they are fit to add as contrib.
I think we should focus on plug-ins working both for linux and windows to start out with.
What's the state of the svninside ?

difficult to say - it builds, it loads. When exiting code::blocks, it makes it crash (probably only a few lines to change).
I cannot say much more, I need to use it more to know better
To be honest, I believe it is dangerous to add them directly to the contrib plugins. But they can be added to an "archive" directory: the code is still available, but not built. This way, the code is not lost, and it give the opportunity to polish the code and improve it (or use it as a basis for a new plugin).
Also note that I have only built the plugins on Windows. I do not know what will happen on Linux.

Cryogen:
I have wxSmithImage, FileManager and PowerShell running. wxSmithImage is up-to-date. I haven't run PowerShell since the prop grid upgrade. As I recall it was not functioning fully and I couldn't make the SVN features work in FileManager. I've also been running FortranProject, which uses an older cut of C::B, and it works like a charm.
I also have KeyMacs going well.
wxSmithKWIC is current and working. I want to add the new image tool functionality to it and look at using the latest wxCode code but it still works as advertised as things are. Since it's maintained and under development I'd prefer it if you didn't distribute it via other means. The site is linked below.
I may need to update the web site with a later version. I haven't looked at it recently. ;-)
Bye.
UPDATE:
I've just checked and both PowerShell and FileManager build. PowerShell causes issues for me when I run it in debug and I can't find any functionality. FileManager works but is so slow to open folders, the bigger the slower, that it's unusable for me and still no SVN decorators.
Cryogen:
I posted my KeyMacs changes here: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,9980.0.html. I've been meaning to do that for ages.
