Version information
vserghi:
Firstly, a big well done on C::B. I am/was a user of DevCpp and I find that the interface of C::B is a lot fresher and cleaner. I love the code folding feature.
I understand that this is only at v1, and I'm sure you've heard this many times, but there is a feature on DevCpp where I can define version information and add an icon for the compiled application. I cannot find it in C::B. Is it already imlemented? Is it a feature not yet included? If it isn't, will it be included at some point?
Vas (very much a coding newbie)

I think it can be done (I'm sure about the icon, less so about version information) by adding your own resource file to your project. DevCpp generates its own resource file, but AFAIK Code::Blocks doesn't do that. (Though that would make a nice plugin if anyone would like to tackle it)
If you make your own resource file, note that the first icon defined will be used for the application itself.

As a matter of fact, it does.
The version info is not implemented yet, but a feature request is already filed about it...

Thanks, for the info guys.
I somehow managed to compile the old resource files from the DevCpp project I had, and use them in my C::B project to get the icon and version info.
As I don't know what should really be in these files (and also which files I really need), I am very hesitant to edit them, apart from the obvious labels.
When can we expect to see this feature implemented into a release of C::B?
Vas.

It does? I must have missed that feature, where is it?
