Hi all! After reviewing the suggestion of Massimo on the option to create a new project, I thought better about hbIDE and came to these ideas and some questions what I want to expose to the group:
1) I need to set the project properties which the name of the main PRG contains the function main ()? If the answer is YES, we need to put it easily as the first array of sources? This would be the idea of the menu PROJECT SELECT MAIN MODULE - be a quick shortcut to this feature - but it is still necessary? 2) The option PROJECT> ADD TO SOURCE PROJECT or PROJECT> REMOVE FROM SOURCE PROJECT would be two options to speed up common tasks of manipulating the sources modules in a project. 3) In the project properties there could be an option for me to put there favorite icon for my application (where appropriate). 4) I need to inform the root location of my HB installation path, because I would like to use hbIDE (done in Qt), but I compile with my HB + BCC or HB + MSVC or HB + MGW... The option "Path to hbMK2.exe" in properties would be for this? 5) In the properties of hbIDE should be have an option to specify the 'default location' where hbmk2 is found. So if we open a file PRG without a project open, we could click with it and build hbIDE could compile and link the file in use ... And until we could add a button similar to "Build only this source" in the options menu. 6) When I click on "new project" option, I believe that we could ask very little information to streamline and simplify this step. Additionally we could put some 'templates' which could be mounted (using HRBs) to assist also with a field to enter the path of hbmk2 ... I build a screenshot how it could be look like this: http://www.kssoftware.com.br/new-project.png If you need to change something in the project, I can do this later, but the basics to build something that would be. 7) I need to have an option to personalize the flags for compiler and linker in "Debug" or "Release" modes. in the toolbar and I need a practical way to choose what target I would like to generate the application. So I could have # defines specific project to my way of "Debug" would not want to use in "Release" and this could be of great help. (Like MSVC) http://www.kssoftware.com.br/select-target-type.png 8) In the DEBUG option eventually I need to change some environment variables what I do not want to use the OS shell to do this. (Like RAD Studio) http://www.kssoftware.com.br/debug-enviroment.png 9) In the project properties would need a field to set the target platform and may be useful to make cross-build process. 10) Support BUILD-EVENTS that when the hbIDE for start and end the process build it call some specific user-commands (such as calling the upx, send the generated file via FTP or run any other program like compression or encryption, etc.) http://www.kssoftware.com.br/build-events.png 11) How we can generate an HRB from an source in current project? Remembering that I am not xMate user but these suggestions as I'm mentioning my experience with other development tools. I think these are interesting features, what do you think?
