Scrollbar(s) for "Link Libraries"
« on: May 12, 2008, 01:52:35 am »
Hello,

I have just downloaded and installed the new Code::Blocks 8:02 with all the plugins and options. And I like it :D.

Anyway, I have remarked that when adding e.g., libraries and if their paths is too long, then it is rather difficult to see what has been added and in which order (I only see part of the libraries path).

Usually I expand the windows so that I can see the path + the library name, but would not be better to add some scrolling bars or another navigation facility (like for "Linker settings-->Other linker options")? Or did I miss something in the CB Settings?

Thank you very much.

All the best
Michael

Hello.

(..) when adding e.g., libraries and if their paths is too long, then it is rather difficult to see what has been added and in which order (I only see part of the libraries path)

Besides the scrollbars you've requested, you could also add a path to those libraries in the Linker section inside the Search directories tab, so you could then specify only the name of the needed libraries in the Linker settings, without their full path. Isn't it?

Regards.

Probably... ;-)
Are you aware than another (and maybe the better) option is to put the libraries without path in the linker options and provide the linker the directories to where the libraries are? The first you get under the "Linker settings" tab, the latter under "Search directories" tab and then "linker".
