No, I wasn't aware of it, thanks! I checked it now and find it is available on both my windows and linux installations. Nice tool!

However, as far as i can tell it will copy ALL of the tools definitions from one config file to another, and that will not work for the case I described where some of the tools are platform specific (e.g. the external debugger tools in my example), and some are portable (the QBZR tools). I would still have to manually hack the .config files. But if the Tools menu would allow submenus, and if you could select/copy such submenus using cb_share_config, it would be almost the same as what I suggested. It would probably be good enough for much of my needs.

Still I think a generic source control plugin sounds like a great idea, especially if it could be configured in much the same way as the tools menu.

At the moment it's specific to git because it will be parsing the output of the git commands (e.g. git status --porcelain) to work out how to display the status of the project files. It may be possible to write a wrapper script to simulate the output of git.

But I'm getting ahead of myself here. It's still at the early stages right now.

Dushara.

- Some way to define a submenu in the Tools menu
- Some way to export/import submenus to/from XML files, allowing for definitions to be moved to other machines.

The PowerShell plugin does exactly this (actually, import/export is to a flat file not xml). It's in need of a UI cleanup, suggetions welcome

I have Code::Blocks 6840 (Win XP) and 6853 (Linux Kubuntu), but there is no PowerShell plugin included as far as I can tell. Is there a simple way I can get it without having to rebuild the IDE? I prefer to use the prebuilt Nightly Builds on Win and Linux.
