Title: custom project right-click menu
Post by: subatomic on September 30, 2008, 04:36:48 pm

I'd like to add a custom right click command to each project icon - (and it'd be nice if I could add one for files as well).

For example, I want to right-click Diff the project, and have "meld" run a diff on the directory  (i'm in fedora 8 )..

I can see wanting other commands in the future.   
If not a feature, could this be added to the feature list?

This can be very easily done using the plugin SDK of C::B. But I don't see this feature will make it into the core. Exactly because it can be done as a plugin... ;-)

Hi subatomic,

a plug-in that includes this functionality is the Shell Extension Plugin (see http://www.codeblocks.org/en-docs-wrapper section File Explorer and Shell Extension Plugin for the docu). It is not part of the official CB version but you can download it from http://developer.berlios.de/projects/cbilplugin/.

Bye,

Mario
