Title: Feature Request
Post by: Andrew94 on June 23, 2010, 05:32:39 pm

Hi,
   I was unable to create a Berlios account after several attempts, but I wanted to request a new feature:
          Could you please add support for deleting projects, files, etc. from the IDE?  Code::Blocks seams to be a excellent, feature-rich IDE, but I find it annoying that it lacks this basic feature.
God bless you,
Andrew Wells

Deleting projects is already possible, by simply closing it and saving the (thus modfied) workspace.
A FileManager that allows deleting files is available through a plugin. Search the forums for "dmooore" and "FileManager".

Thank you,
I installed them successfully, but I had a little trouble due to an error about write permissions for the .dll's.  After looking around the forums it appeared that others did too, so I thought I would share my solution:
    I am running Code::Blocks in Windows Vista and I think that the file permissions are more strict than they are in Windows XP.  To install the plugin in Vista, you may need to right click Code::Blocks, select Run as Administrator, and provide the nessecary confirmation.  After this, you follow the normal procedure.  I hope this helps anyone who has trouble installing the plugins.
God bless you,
Andrew
