Great! I have been eagerly awaiting that fix. It has caused me some annoyance lately.

Thanks for your work.... downloading now.

I just commited a fix to C::B trunk that included the accelerator in the FindMenu calls made by Tools+. Hopefully this will help. See here

Filemanager and Tools+ are the most useful plugins ever! Thanks for your great work.

[oBFusCATed]

The compiler plugin is way more useful  :lol:

good job!

"...cycle through project manager -> editor -> "logs and others" via CTRL+ALT+TAB..."
but in win7, it is same as "Alt + Tab".. windows will hanld those key and show a swithcher panel.

Same here in Vista, Ctrl+Alt+Tab shows the switcher panel... The difference from Alt+Tab is that when I release the Tab key, the panel stays and I can choose with the mouse the window I want to enable...

Known hotkey in Vista/win7

[nanyu]

a bug make c::b crash.

1) open a workspace, and open some files.
2) click a main menu item
3) and move mouse over a menu item above, and let the mouse and also on a file TAB and above.
3) wait the hint window show.
4) wait a moment, or make mouse move away...

will see the c::b crash.

==========
win7 c::b svn 6992.

===========
addition : before c::b crash, it's window turn white.

[MortenMacFly]

Known hotkey in Vista/win7

Mmmmmh. Good question. I didn't know this is an exis5ting hotkey in Vista+

What aout adding Shift in addition on these platforms? Or is there any other "common" one?

[daniloz]

Shift-Alt-Tab is in use in Window, it's just Alt-Tab in reverse order....

But I think you meant Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Tab... I'm almost running out of fingers here...

guys, the latest revision 7009 has an issue with code completion while typing header file name. I created an empty project to print "hello world" and seems that the parser locates only the C header files and not the C++.

System Specs:

OS: Windows XP SP3 Professional
Compiler: TDM's GCC 4.5.0
svn revision: 7009

When I will go home, I will test it on my Debian PC and I will let you know.

Bug: I tried to delete an empty directory with FileManager, but I got the message "Could not open handle <path>" and CodeBlocks crashed.

Hi,

I installed codeblocks revision 6996 from jenslody repository under ubuntu 10.10. If I disable the compiler plugin and then I open e.g. a cpp-file then codeblocks will crash.

I disabled quite a lot of plug-ins, but I think it is related to this plugin.

Mario

I only get (or gotit, will try again) if I remove (or rename) th ecompiler plugins library.

You might have seen, that I added debconf scripts to rename (and therefore not load) some of the plugins, except for the compiler plugin:

At the moment there is another (most likely more important) issue to look into:
If compiler-library is removed, you can not  open any files with "File->Open" or from recent file list, because C::B crashes immediately.
That's the cause, why I inhibit renaming of compiler pluzgin via debconf.

But it worked for me with a disabled plugin (from inside C::B).
I will try to investigate more.

I just tested it, and it crashes also.
The "funny" thing is, that it seems to shut down C::B, th bachtrace shows only some destructors, that have been called and C::B writes back a changed default.conf .

[MortenMacFly]

I just tested it, and it crashes also.

Here, too. It seems the crash is traced back to CC -> nativeparser.cpp:645 where the requested compiler is invalid. This can happen (as we see) and should therefore be handeled differently.

You The attached patch may resolve it (untested though).

As it "cbThrows" this explains why the default.conf still gets saved. That's a fail-safe option.

Guys, I don't know if it's a minor bug or not, but it seems that AStyle "violates" Code::Blocks's Coding Style.

To reproduce this:
create a new class name Foo
enter your curly braces; it will automatically indent your cursor by a tab / 4 spaces size (if i am correct; if not correct me please!)
Enter either public:, or private, or protected:, and see them left indenting like the Bad example from Coding Style.

I know that is a minor issue, but I am trying to adapt the Code::Blocks's Coding Style in my programming life

Cheers.

[Folco]

Some people like that public/protected/private is aligned with {}. I think it's horrible. But this fact seems to be voluntary.

Please does not checked this option.

dmoore: Is there a reason you're not adding stuff to the Tools menu, having two menus named identically is not good.

To replace the tools menu, Goto Tools+ -> Configure Tools -> Plugin Settings, There's a checkbox to replace Tools with Tools+. Otherwise disable the plugin. Ideally Tools+ should offer same features as Tools + more. (This isn't true right now and your old tools won't be available in tools+)

I decided not to replace tools with tools+ by default for transparency purposes (to make it clear for first timers to the plugin that this is a separate feature). Before the next release, maybe the devs collectively decide to do something different.

[dmoore]

Bug: I tried to delete an empty directory with FileManager, but I got the message "Could not open handle <path>" and CodeBlocks crashed.

Thanks for the report.

What OS? (Assume windows) Was the directory deleted the root of the tree displayed in the FileManager or a subdirectory? Did the crash occur after clicking ok on the "Could not handle" message or before? Can you replicate consistently?

[Phenom]

What OS? (Assume windows)

Yes, windows/

Was the directory deleted the root of the tree displayed in the FileManager or a subdirectory?

Subdirectory.

Did the crash occur after clicking ok on the "Could not handle" message or before?

When the message is shown, if you click ok it becomes unresponisive. The same is if you wait a few senonds not clicking ok.

Can you replicate consistently?

Unfortunately not. Try something like this: move the all the files of a folder to its parent directory and then try delete the folder.

Loaden, thanks buddy I have checked it and now another problem arises. Everytime I open curly braces, it does not move cursor by single tab / 4 spaces, and that is even more irritating than before .

Anyway, thanks for the effort; I will stick with the smart indent then I don't mind.

I decided not to replace tools with tools+ by default for transparency purposes (to make it clear for first timers to the plugin that this is a separate feature). Before the next release, maybe the devs collectively decide to do something different.

That was a good decision. I decided to keep the Tools menu and instead remove the Tools+. It works better for me.

I don't think it is wise if a plugin completely replaces existing "core" functionality. At least that decision should be left to the user, and that is what you did. So no problem thus far.

[oBFusCATed]

If a user wants tool+, it can't remove tools...

[dmoore]

If a user wants tool+, it can't remove tools...

As I noted above, you can choose to hide the tools menu using Tools+->Configure tools->Plugin Settings->Replace Tools Menu with Tools plus

[codeur]

I decided not to replace tools with tools+ by default for transparency purposes (to make it clear for first timers to the plugin that this is a separate feature). Before the next release, maybe the devs collectively decide to do something different.

I am glad you kept the Tools menu. As Tools+ does not seem to yet cover the same functionality as Tools (in particular the various ways of launching standard shells, and I have not seen separators). That would have made impossible my current use of the Tools. I also like the simple appearance of the inbuilt Tools.

For now I have disabled Tools+ and kept Tools, but thanks for offering this new plugin. It could become quite useful when more mature.
