Post by: Anonymous on June 16, 2005, 07:52:38 pm

Is there a way to update or delete a "user-template" you created?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, just go to the codeblocks subdirectory and edit it (with notepad) or remove it.

Under what filename did you save the template you created? :)

I saved it as 'DirectX' but I already looked through the whole codeblocks directory and all its subdirectorys and couldn't find it.

Maybe it's in your userprofile subdirectory? (Sorry, never used custom templates, i'm wildguessing :oops: But I DO know that data is stored in your userprofile directory, i.e. my documents etc.

It's in your user profile. For windows2000 and up, you will find your user-templates in "Documents and Settings\<username>\.CodeBlocks".

It's in your user profile...

of course in non-english versions of windows the directory names changes (unfortunately) ...

a universal approach, working on a command prompt on all localized windows versions could be:

make a commandfile: maybe called "cbhome.cmd"
=[cbhome.cmd]=

Code

SET HOME="%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"
%HOMEDRIVE% 
cd %HOME%
cd .CodeBlocks

=[/cbhome.cmd]=

execute your "cbhome.cmd" to change to your .CodeBlocks home-dir

Just incase someone wanders in from Google search like I just did and find this thread outdated... Just a quick update to the thread...
For Win7 users the code blocks directory that your searching for is
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\codeblocks\UserTemplates
