Little one can do about that, though... unluckily, except writing a MyBetterFileName class, and recoding an awful lot in the application.

Oh, forgot to mention... Windows actually does support slashes in network folders. But it absolutely must have "\\" at the beginning, which is so darn stupid.

For example, needing to do this from multiple computers where free drive letters may differ, or from computers where I don't have permission to do this.

I know I'm in no place to suggest this, but have you considered using CVS so that you only have to change the source on ONE computer and the rest will be updated from CVS? IMO that's a much safer approach.

A warning: Codeblocks saves files by OVERWRITING them. It does NOT create new files and then rename them, which would be much safer in a network environment.

Let's suppose you manage to get the files-on-network-drive approach working. If something happens to the network connection when you're saving a file, you can kiss your file goodbye.

What are you talking about? It saves to a temporary file first and if it succeeds then it overwrites the original file :shock:

I know, but it's not practical here, and it doesn't solve the problem I mention. It would be good if Code::Blocks had CVS support though. (Or if it does, for it to be more obvious!)

Ack! My memory! :oops: I've stayed out of C::B development for too long :oops:
