thomas:
Now just tell me how to add a button to wxWidget's file selector box without doing a complete rewrite, and I'll do it in the next 10 minutes :)

thomas:
Oh by the way... did you know you can select more than one file or file ranges by holding down the Ctrl and Shift key, respectively? This will allow you to add 2 or 3, or 20 files to your project in one go.

dempl_dempl:
And try going to the parent directory to select some more...
Folks, 'Apply' -like  button haven't killed any program so far :) .


BTW, I have a nightly code::blocks and it's, of course, rather buggy.
Where can man find a stable release ,which is not to much outdated?

Very simply... you m of course write you own open dialog box. You do that for three days.
You add a plug-in capability to it. That will take another 7 days.

You add a new button in 10 minutes :) .


You made entire environment plug-in-able,  congrats,
but ... you've missed a spot :) ...

Really... this is so dumb that we are even discussing it. This Code::Blocks really has a lot of potential.
Entire environment is plug-in-able, like Eclipse, and can easily become the best C++ environment.
It's really shame you go over things like these. 

Generally, this little things are very important. Code::Blocks can do many stuff Visual C++ , Borland C++ Builder and Delphi,
KDevelop and Anjuta cannot do , and won't be able in the near future  , but if you don't pay attention to some details, and keep
it buggy as it is... it will just remain a very cool tech-demo. Something from which other IDEs can get their inspiration from.

I don't like being a critic. Everyone wants to be the critic these days :) .
Code::Blocks team has shown top-level programming skills,  and a great design skills. 
Again, I say, it's really a shame to let this small things like these to ruin the great general impression about the program.

Cheers

nice rant  :roll:
