RE: [Dev-C++] Dev-C++ updates development start again ;)

[<bis...@bt...>]

Great news !! I think Dev C++ is the best free IDE currently available on
Windows.

Some suggestions (in no particular order):

a) Currently you cannot use relative path when adding icons, etc. to the
resource file - the directory where the project file is kept should behave
as the current directory. This will save us from a lot of pain.

b) The resource loader button (from project options) leaves a leading blank
space.

c) The code snippet feature is pretty nice but it would be better to have
something like LCC WEdit where you can write full -fledged routines which
you can insert at any point of your program. Currently the wixard only works
when you start a project.

d) Inbuilt support for WxWindows will be very nice - esp. since you're
planning to make Dev C++ cross-platform.

e) A class browser !! There are quite a few free (GPL/LGPL) C++
parsers/class browsers already available - how difficult would it be to
integrate one ?

f) Any chance of getting a version of Dev C++ written in C++ + WxWindows ? I
would love to contribute but I don't have Delphi :-)

g) Last but not the least, better and more flexible project wizards (I love
LCC-Win32's project wizard - too bad it is Win API only :-() would be very
nice. Ideally, one should be able to design one's own wizard which will
interact with the user to build the initial framework.

Keep up the good work!
