Replace Dialog

[Wahooney]

Is any work being officially done on the Replace Dialog?

I am in the process of reworking the interface and I just want to know if someone in a more official capacity has already started making any changes for a future version?

Thanks.

i'm not a dev, but i don't think anyone has anything major planned except bug fixing (check the bug list). what are you planning?

[Wahooney]

Basically streamlining the whole experience.

Primarily I would like to remove the second dialog the pops up after you click the Replace button and have the Replace, Find Next and Replace All options in the one dialog. The dialog will also be made non-modal The Replace in Files will also be removed and integrated into the one page and a button will be created next to each input field of the dialog allowing quick access to common RegEx commands. I was thinking that perhaps it will be useful to make the dialog dockable for those lonf Find and Replace sessions that sometimes happen.

Once all these changes have been made I will submit a patch to the main devs for integration into the SVN, if it proves worthy, and I hope everyone will benefit from the changes.

I'll post a screen shot of the proposed changes asap.

Wahooney: the dockable find and replace dialog sounds nice. I'll be waiting for the screenshots :wink:

[dmoore]

sounds great but... why don't you implement as a plugin first? might need to check whether the plugin architecture gives you sufficient access to the bits you need to hook into. you can certainly do the dockables

seems quite useless to me... i like it how it is now.
the replace dialog is very big, and when replacing its nice to see what u are replacing without the dialog on top of it.
so right now i think its perfect.

Not for me!, I really like Wahooney's idea!!

so right now i think its perfect.

The extensions is really nice as it, but far from perfect for me!, a lot of things may be improved, just by unifiyng the menu options "Search" and "Replace" will be more user-friendly I think.

Wahooney, you have a really nice project in your hands, keep it that way!!

Ok, this is probably not going to fill you guys with hope, but I've hit a rather major snag...

How the hell do I compile Code::Blocks from the SVN source?

I open the codeblocks.cbp file, it asks for the wx Global Variable, and I point it to my wxWidgets2.6.3 folder. Up until this point it's all good, but when I compile it, it carries on alright until it hits this:

The coding part is easy, getting the bloody thing to compile is a different story.

Thanks guys.

Make sure the directory "C:\wxWidgets-2.8.3\lib\gcc_dll\mswu" exists. If it doesn't, you'll have to recompile the correct version of wxWidgets:

Code

cd \wxWidgets-2.8.3\build\msw
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 UNICODE=1

[Wahooney]

It's building! BUILDING! Oh, what a world!

Look out Code::Blocks, here comes the Wahooney  :twisted:

Thanks, TDragon!
