#310 3 requests in 1
Hi,
I have three feature requests for Dev-CPP, one is a
little bit of work to implement (first one) the two
other is very easy to implement but extremely useful.
Comments on these features are welcome.
-
A "Web Tools" that provides an "Publish project as
HTML" option. This command should use FTP or SCP to
connect to a file-server and upload HTML files to this
server containing the syntax highlighted code of the
current project. This option would be very helpful when
you're working on open-source projects (source is no
secret anyway) and you need to ask for help about
something. I've used services such as
www.rafb.net/paste quite often but it takes time and
often the bugs are in another file, or the guy who is
helping out needs to look at some other file. Using
this command I publish all of it at once and then they
helping guy could broswe around as he whishes. -
VERY VERY SIMPLE. An option in the project menu that
counts the number of lines in all project files (.h and
.cpp/.c). -
VERY SIMPLE. A would like a new option in the
File/New menu, it should be called new "Source Pair" or
something like that. When clicked a dialog should
appear asking for a name, if I enter MyName here it
should create myname.h and myname.cpp (if IDE is in C++
mode) otherwise myname.h and myname.c (if IDE is in C
mode). In the .c/.cpp file it should already say
include "myname.h" and in the .h file it should have
written out the usual macro hack everybody uses, ie:
ifndef MYNAME_HEADER_INCLUDED
define MYNAME_HEADER_INCLUDED
//code goes here
endif / MYNAME_HEADER_INCLUDED /
Going even futher one could implement something similar
to Eclipse's option "New Class", and if the user types
"MyClass" in the dialog then Dev-cpp creates both a .h
file with the above macro-hack and also a declaration
"class MyClass" etc etc.
Even though the syntax-completion engine is abit buggy
at times, Dev-CPP is a great tool and I really enjoy
using it! Keep up the good work!!
