Hi,

I wonder what is the best way to work on two files in C::B?
I often have to compare files and copy content from one to the other.
With other editors I can arrange windows so that I can see both files.
The split function in C::B is for one file only?
Regards,

Yes.

Pecan:
You can create a tool from the Tool menu like the following:



This particular tool passes the current file to an external editor. CB will ask to reload the file when it finds the external tool has changed the source.

So its wxFlatNotebook that is limiting the split functionality to only one file?  I hope a the two file split feature gets into the 1.0 release of Code::Blocks, other wise I think many people will be left scratching their heads when they figure out they can't show two files (like I did).  Don't get me wrong, it does come in handy when I have a large file that I need information from, but you almost always want that header/source combination instead.

That said, it hasn't stopped me enjoying Code::Blocks, its still very usable(and a joy to use) in its current form.
