Hi Damien,

as I am using your file explorer every day I have a feature request. :D
If I mark one file in the file explorer and open the context menu I get Open in CB Editor, but if I mark several files I do not get this context menu entry. I would be nice to open several files with just one click to enchance working.

Bye

dmoore:
yes, I'll put it on my todo list. I haven't had a lot of time to work on the plugin lately and recently lost my development machine (motherboard failure). I'll get to this sometime in the next few weeks, though...

the biggest weakness with the plugin right now is the polling for files on the main thread (this is especially slow when polling for file states in directories under version control). I've sketched out some prototype code to do the file listening in a background thread and hopefully get an opportunity to implement that soon.

also here's an extension to try: when you want to use the native file explorer to browse a folder that is listed in the tree add an extension "Explore" that spawns the command "explorer $dir" (for windows explorer, substitute your favourite File Manager...)

Hi,
is this thing or something similar available for the linux build?

Thanks

dmoore:
it works on linux but you have to compile from source (available from the project svn - link to project in my sig). It's slightly painful to build because I haven't created makefiles (I have supplied ShellExtensions-unix.cbp project files but that assumes you have compiled CB itself from source from within CB using the supplied codeblocks-unix.cbp files). makefile patches welcome!
