Feature request for "Reload file ?" requester

(1/3) > >>

Schlumie:
Hello!
Codeblocks is really great, and i'm wokring with several compilers (gcc,metware,keil..)
The only "missing" feature for me is (i think no other IDE has such a feature), a "Compare" button on the "Reload file ?" requester.
The current editor file should then be saved to temp, and then configurable "shell" command should be called with the filepathes of the original and the temp file. So this two files could be called with a compare/merge program, to see the changes..

I think this wouldnt be a great great deal to program, but really a nice feature for little deveopment groups who uses this feature. And i think to other IDE would have such a feature!..

Thanks.

Try Subversion + TortoiseSVN plugin for C::B.
More flexible and more usable, I think.
Good luck!

We are just 2 developers... so allways do a checkin/out would be a great overhead and to install a svn server...The other solution would be the simpler one for us...

I being used Subversion for 1-2 developers. Branches, tags and more over. On Windows, Linux, no problem.
I does install, configure and forget it. More features, logs, history.
I have no english words :) for explain this great package.

I said my opinion, choose yourself!
Good luck!

Subversion does not do what you asked for (neither does the TortoiseSVN plugin for Code::Blocks).

However, even for one developer, Subversion (or another RCS) is an absolute must, if you plan to do anything serious. By the way, if you don't want to run a server, you can still use Subversion on the local file system.
