[Cmdplus-devel] Global Data/Local Data

[Neil M. <nei...@ho...>]

Hi

Currently there is exactly one Console in each running instance of CmdPlus!,
which means that all "data" is associated with that console. My question is
what should happen when more than one console is allowed to be spawned,
either as separate windows or as tabs, or both.

The "state" that is flying around is:
Console graphics settings, colours etc. (global)
Current directory (local)
Variables (??)
Command history (i.e. press up at the command line) (local)
Any other settings flying around.

I have put in brackets the ideas for each thing, but variables are tricky:
i.e. if you want to access two copies of CVS at once, you need two different
CVSROOT variables, but for other things only one copy is best.
My idea for this was to have "global" scope, as copied in from the Windows
variables, and from any startup file, and then have local scope for
variables set after the program starts running.

Is this a workable scheme? Does it lack certain things?

btw: I haven't been doing much lately because my computer died, and I needed
to refind the VS.net CD's, which wasn't easy, but I have found them now.

[Cmdplus-devel] Initial Documentation for CmdPlus

[Neil H. <nei...@ho...>]

Hi

I tried sending this once before but I don't think it got through, if it did
then I apologise for sending this twice.

I have now set-up a mailing list for CmdPlus developers (and users and
announcements), see the instructions I am hoping the mailing list software
will put at the bottom of this email for details on how to subscribe, from
now on I will only send to that.

Here is some basic documentation, comments welcome, questions welcome,
discuss whatever.

Neil
