Using Code::Blocks / Re: C::B plugin to show current git branch?
« Last post by cacb on April 12, 2025, 04:50:03 pm »It is very nice to add that feature to the cbvcs, thank you for considering it.
I could not find cbvcs among the standard plugins, but I found it at https://github.com/josephch/cbvcs
Trouble is, I use C::B a lot under windows and for that I rely on the Windows nightly builds (that I do not build myself) available via this forum. The nightly builds work perfectly fine, but there does not seem to be an easy way to install a plugin like cbvcs in this situation. Or maybe I am mistaken?
On Linux I do build C::B from source, so that is slightly different I suppose, but the main need is currently on Windows using C::B nightly builds.
Ideas welcome.
----
Edit: By the way, I currently "integrate" git with Code::Blocks in a super simplified way: I simply add a "Git Gui Here" option in the C::B Tools menu with ${PROJECT_DIR} as working directory. That way I have access to most most git features that I care about and it works the same on Windows and Linux. For special git features I can use another "Terminal here" option in the C::B Tools menu.
if I could use the Tools plugin (or Tools+ if you insist) to assign a string to some C::B variable to be mirrored in the taskbar it would work without the need for a whole new plugin.

It would be nice if it could be directed to a field in the status bar.

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: Reason to update to 25.03?
« Last post by Mr.Madguy on April 10, 2025, 10:43:29 pm »I haven't yet installed 25.03, but can confirm problem with Ctrl+C on old version (OS is Win 7). Assuming behavior is the same, Ctrl+C is guaranteed to fail if your mouse cursor is over one of the tabs (and when you want to copy from one tab to another, it often is). It probably redirects all keyboard events to tab manager so that you can navigate with arrows, but it works horribly. Apart from Ctrl+C it is also annoying that it will not type any text if your cursor accidentally hovers over some tabs. And it doesn't even provide any convenience, since to navigate with arrows you still need to first hover your mouse over tabs but then you can just click tab with mouse.I'm not sure, how it happens. My experience: longer I use CB after starting it - lesser chance of successful Ctrl+C. In most cases it works just after starting. But then it becomes worse and worse. For example just few hours ago I experimented with it a little bit. First I was able to copy things on the second attempt. But then it stopped working completely.
I thought, that being unable to type anything was somehow connected to auto-completion getting stuck sometimes. It feels like 25.03 is less prone to this problem.

Much better description and you told the windows version number; good job reporting.
Edit: I was able to duplicate under Win10 and CB 25.03.

« Last post by Mr.Madguy on April 10, 2025, 07:27:57 pm »No, it is the fault of users who fail to report enough info to duplicate problems.Well, devs should test everything with default settings, right? Disabling 2 obvious plugins hasn't helped. Is there some of list of mandatory plugins, i.e. disabling them would affect CB's base functionality? I want to try to disable everything, except the most important ones.
It is the responsibility of the CB Devs to fix problems that are reported with enough info to duplicate the problem.
Edit: I am not an CB Developer. I was in the past a regular CB user, who submitted patches and tried to duplicate reported problems.
Now days, I just try to build wxWidgets and Code::Blocks under MSys2 mingw64.
