cleaning tool idea
« on: January 05, 2006, 03:52:43 am »
Have an idea which might cut down on configuration bugs and issues.  Would be easier to write if it's written sooner, rather than later, while the number of past configuration places codeblocks has used in the past is down to a manageable #.

So the idea is a standalone exe that removes every codeblock/ .codeblocks/ and CB registry keys created by the application in some way, or that have ever been created by past configurations.  This way once can just run this tool before compiling/downloading a new build of CB and be guaranteed a fresh system which won't be in an inconsistent state if some CB configuration details have changed in the latest build.  So, necessary?  Workable?

Very good suggestion !
but isn't it sufficient if Code::Blocks is able to clean all actual used places ?
so the option is already existing by the commandline --clear-configuration
it only has to be extended to clear really everything which is used by CB .
