Title: Project wide replace without opening all files?
Post by: Tobi on November 12, 2008, 09:13:38 pm

Is there a way in Code::Blocks to turn off project wide replace opening all files in which it does replacements?

I couldn't find this in the settings, sorry if I missed it :-)

If this isn't possible yet then this is a feature suggestion again :P

you mean : let the code::blocks only do replacements in opened files?

No, I mean, now when I do project wide replacement, C::B open alls files in which it does replacements. (I presume so you can undo?)

I want it to not open any files, just do the replacement without opening the file in the editor.
If I want undo I restore backup or revert using my version control system :-)

Is this possible?

sorry, I still can't understand what's you means.

First, you  can right click on the tab, and select "close all" to close all tabs.

As far as I know: no.

But what about a feature request or even better creating a patch ?
The user should be able to chose if he/she wants to force replacement without to (visibly) open the files and of course be warned that an undo is impossible then.

"Close all" or "Close all other" does what it says: closing all files and that's normally not wanted, even if the user just did a "Replace in files".

The second means that Tobi uses a backup and/or a version control system to be able to restore damaged files/filesystems (either by hardware or user errors) in (mostly) any cases.
