File explorer window

(1/4) > >>

Klokan:
Hi,

I'm new to Code::Blocks editor.
I found it very good.

But what I'm really missing is an integrated File Explorer window.
I don't want to use a project because my sources are really huge and I quite often change a "view" on these sources (older versions, versions on different branches -> some elements vanishes, some are added).
It means that I would have to always update the project if I change the "view" on the sources.

For that an integrated File Explorer would become really handy.

Is the integrated File Explorer planned?

Hi,

I have not tested the plugin until now. But just have look at

Bye,

if you are running win32 you can test on a pre-built CB with the plugin installed here:

http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7745&release_id=12949

I still have quite a few features to add. Comments/suggestions very welcome. (if you want to keep menu pollution to a minimum - you might want to disable the python plugin (plugins->manage plugins)

EDIT: a few notes

1. The file explorer is integrated with the interpreter actions menu, so if you right click on a file that matches the wildcard spec of the interpreter you will be offered its actions. (interpreter can mean anything you want here: interpreters, shell commands, svn commands etc)
2. The top combo box controls the root path of the file explorer tree view, the second one is a semi-colon wild card filter (accepts the usual * and ? wildcards) -- these things are stored persistently across sessions
3. lots of right click context menu options (not all of them work and some might crash/lock up codeblocks -- this happened to me with the "Make root" menu option on win32, but not on linux)
4. the File Explorer allows multiple selects but none of the commands respond to multiple selections at the moment.

Hi dmoore,

I have just tried it, it looks good.

I have few suggestions on the File Explorer:
- possibility to open up a system menu on the file/directory -> I use it very often to checkout/checkin file/directory in my ClearCase versioning system
- possibility to synchronize the File Explorer with the current opened file.
- possibility to change the sorting: directories first, then files
- possibility to change the sorting: file names or extensions or date,....
- possibility to refresh the File Explorer
- somehow mark read-only files (some small lock icon maybe?)

This is implemented in the C::B core, already?!
With regards, Morten.
