Title: Application versioning
Post by: renaud.s on September 14, 2007, 09:25:45 am

Hi,

Does C::B has a similar function as DevCpp has for application versioning ?  So basically a dialog window where you may enter yourself the version major and minor numbers and where the build number is automatically incremented at each compilation ?  DevCpp also generate a macro that can be used anywhere in the code (in the about box for example).  Dev-Cpp also include that automatically in a windows resource (rc) file which is very handy for konwing the application revision without having to run it (by file properties).  By the way, does a similar feature exist on Mac and linux  (I mean the application version included in file properties) ?

If such a feature doesn't exist in C::B, where is the best place to request for new feature ?  I would be interested in contributing at the implementation of this featues, and maybe some others...  What would then be the best way to make it, as plug-in ???

Thanks

Renaud S

It seems this would do the job.  I'll give it a try.

Thanks for you help
