Title: Minor feature request
Post by: oZZ on December 04, 2006, 04:07:57 am
The Build Messages and Build log tabs message length should be adjustable.  Sometimes I have to copy and paste my build log (especially when there's lots of templates involved) into a text editor just to read the messages.

Call stack in debugger "Function column" suffers the same problem only worse because you can't just copy/and paste the call stack output.

When you save the call stack output it generated "^M" at the end of each line (shown in gVim) (fileformat setting in gVim is dos, unix or macos)

Tested on windows C::B.

Thanks so much, keep up the excellent work...

Btw I'm writing a book designed to help small teams or solo indie game developers and I'll be specifically mentioning C::B in it! I'll post more info when it's done.

Let's throw in another one around the same subject:
Would be great there was an option to copy individual build messages. I find it rather annoying to copy them all, paste it somewhere else to copy the one line I'm interested in, and finally paste it to, for example, IRC.

Hi !!

Until this feature exists, you may have a look to this interesting (Windows) tool http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/sysexp.html (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/sysexp.html)

It finds all lists, combos, trees... data item(s) and allow their extraction.

Bettter than nothing !!

I like this too.. as well as line wrapping in the messages window. Horizontal scrolling 12 screens sucks, maximizing the message window to see a 10 lines would be much nicer.

I don't understand. Here is an error msg I just copied and pasted from the build log.

Code
kmEditMacros.cpp:73: error: `xxx' undeclared (first use this function)
kmEditMacros.cpp:73: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it

I think he's saying you can only copy the whole thing, and he wants to copy just a single line.

I just copied a single line(or two).

I think the request in this regard was for build messages. May be more convenient than trying to find the respective line in the build log.
