Title: Some (minor) aspects of CB behaviour
Post by: Indrekis on August 21, 2006, 01:55:07 am

Dear All!

I'm using CB more or less routinely for more than a year. Because it is developing extremely rapidly, it is useful to update it frequently (by means of NightyBuilds  :) ). Most of the updates pass flawlessly, but sometimes some minor changes in behaviour occurs. So, I want to ask, are listed below changes  intentioned?


My current build is 2878 (Aug 19 2006) under Windows XP SP2.

• Some time in the past (I'm not sure, when) dialog, which asked something like "Add new file to the current project?" disappeared... (As for me, it was more convenient than the current workaround - adding created file manually by using "Project/Add files..." after saving the file.)
  
   
• Are the shortcuts like "Shift-Ins" disabled intentionally?
  
  
• Some very old alteration. Sometimes ago, when CB was started from the msys, it was possible to use MinGW/MSYS FileSystem bindings.
  
  For example, if in the fstab there is following line:
  d:/MinGWPath/AdditionaLibs            /additionallibs
  it is  possible to use gcc options in the way -I/additionallibs/include (and not -Id:/MinGWPath/AdditionaLibs).
  It was possible (if CB was started from the msys/bash shell) to use the same form for the Compiler and Linker directories (both in global and per-project build options).  But sometimes ago, CB started to forcedly replace all "/" and "\\" character by the "\". And that trick became unusable...
  
  Comment: As for me, introduction of Global variables almost vanished necessity of the trick.

I beg your pardon, dear All, for the first two questions   :(

I have found the answers in the forum.

1.) "Add new file" problem

But I still miss the old way of adding files...

2.)Keypad shortcuts: I found related discussions.

What is more strange, the problem looks transient. Sometimes all work as expected. Sometimes no. The problem appears only for the CB and might have some correlation with hibernations of my system. (WinXP SP2).

3.) Forced backslashes in the include and lib paths under Windows - I have not found anything. So the question still remains :)

For simple header-files you have the User Templates. :wink:
