smallB's suggestions

<< < (4/13) > >>

smallB:
@jens and as for you saying:
"I spent many times in one of your threads (stray \216) and at the end it turns out to be a misconfiguration, because you did not read the manual of the compiler you use."
Few points:
1. I never and nowhere claimed that I'm experienced programmer nor cb user - quite the contrary
2. I thought that this forum is for people (unexperienced users too) having trouble with configuring/using cb - am I wrong? Or is this forum just for experienced cb users and experienced programmers? So they won't ask questions/have problems that will cause waste of your time?
I'm sorry, there have to be some misunderstanding about purpose of this forum. So would you mind clarifying it to me?

When you say on your forum:
a) Help
    Code::Blocks installation/troubleshooting issues. This is NOT a general programming board.
Do you really mean that, and is this forum's purpose to help ANY user (experienced or not)?
b) Using Code::Blocks
 General questions regarding the usage of Code::Blocks (all platforms)
Do you really mean that, and is this forum's purpose to help using cb by ANY user (experienced or not)?
c) Development
 Anything concerning development of Code::Blocks. Regular users should use the other forums for support/help/suggestions.
Do you really mean that, and do you really want to hear from ANY user (experienced or not)suggestions? Do you really mean that help can be asked by ANY user, and that support will be provided to ANY user?

And saying to someone that reading his/her post is a waste of time is VERY offensive. Especially in view of the above I've just listed for you - you do not indicate anywhere that suggestions are not welcome - quite the contrary, you do not indicate that only experienced users are welcome and only they can ask for help, and you do not indicate anywhere that users should restrain themselves from asking for help if they are unexperienced programmers/cb users and if they don't they will just waste your time.
I'm sorry to say/hear that.

zabzonk:
Nobody is saying you cannot ask for help. And in fact you have been given quite a lot of help, by me, among others. And I, and I suspect others, will continue giving help, if you request it.

However, as I said before, anyone can have ideas, and posting ideas alone is not particularly helpful. CB works the way it does because that is the way its developers want or have wanted it to work - if you want it to work significantly differently (and most of your "ideas" were very significant changes) then it is up to you to

(a) make a very good and detailed case for them, which so far you have not - "I would like it to work this way" is not sufficient,

(b) suggest how such changes might be implemented, and how the implementation would avoid problems with other parts of CB

(c)  ideally provide some code.

This is not something specific to CB, it is the way that all FOSS projects operate. You would get the same response if you repeatedly posted ideas alone about how (say) GCC or Apache should be changed.

smallB:
@Neil fair enough, will try to teach myself about patching/plugin etc for cb and contribute to this great project. And Neil, I'm very grateful for your and other's help.

smallB:
3. Checking matching brackets when matters only.
I don't think that checking for matching braces in either:
a) comments
b) as a string
c) as a char
is the right thing to do.
Thanks

4. SmartSense's window is not placed correctly when editing line is close to bottom of the screen.
