It would be nice to add a tickbox in build options to play an alert sound (default system alert or perhaps user-configurable sound) when compiling finishes. It would be even nicer to have a box to set minimum number of seconds that compiling has to last before making an audio alert on completion, if it's enabled - that way if I'm running the occasional 15 minute compile I can set it to alert once it completes something of that duration, but not to pester me every time if I'm doing rapid short recompiles.
This feature exists in other applications, such as Audacity which has a very similar feature - "Beep on completion of longer activities".
Two methods:
1, create a plugin, and capture the compile finish event, and beep
2, modify current code(mostly compiler plugin), and beep feature
I remember there are some discussions in our C::B several days ago, it's your post there?
Nope, that must have been someone else. I don't have the experience with the code::blocks project to attempt writing a plugin at present, just thought this might be a nice feature if it's easy to add to existing compiler handling code.
