    Hi all,
    I'm working in my wx-devcpp code for the past month and i added couple of features to it.
    1) developer productivity features like surround with (while, for, try catch etc)
    2)Ability to run devcpp in single instance.
    3)A bug fix for navigating the files listed in the compiler message (with filename:linenumber format).

    My question is, since I'm working with a different code base, I'm unable to just give a diff of my changes to sf's patch manager. Whom should I send the code, so that it can be included in the devcpp cvs ?

    Thanks,
    Guru

      You can post it here, I'll try to find some time to apply it. Was 3) reported in bugs?

      Marek,
      Thanks for your reply. Sorry I didnt reply to your previous mail yet(since I'm having tough time coping with different projects at home and office). I'll send the snippets to you asap to you and you can apply them later.

      Reg #3, i havent checked the bug report but it was annoying to me that I cannot navigate to certain files that are refered by the compiler. In the compiler output tab, "file name " column will normally have just the file name but certain compiler message will refer other files with their linenumber that causes the warning to get propagated . for example lets consider the following output:

      In file included from C:/dev-cpp/include/wx/wxchar.h:143,
      from C:/dev-cpp/include/wx/debug.h:22,
      from C:/dev-cpp/include/wx/defs.h:397,
      from C:/dev-cpp/include/wx/wx.h:15,
      from fncApp.h:11,

      In the compiler tab, possible filename for the first row will be

      C:/dev-cpp/include/wx/wxchar.h:143,

      instead of

      C:/dev-cpp/include/wx/wxchar.h

      So when the user clicks that row, devcpp would try to open the file named "C:/dev-cpp/include/wx/wxchar.h:143," instead of C:/dev-cpp/include/wx/wxchar.h , so the file is NOT opened in the editor. I did some parsing of the file name sent to the click event and try to open the refined file name.
      Hope you get the point.

      Thanks,
      Guru
