Ideas for future upgrades

[SCV]

Hi Norm,


In the explorer window, where one entry may have a line number with 3 digits and another have 4 digits, could the labels align to the most indented (largest line number) label?
So looking at the attached example, the "717" needs an extra space to align it's label with "1348" label.

Whilst looking at the explorer window, I notice the "includes" option doesn't show the include files in use.

Great IDE by the way!

Hi Norm,

At the start of compiling I think the existing hex files get deleted, but if compilation fails, no new hex file is generated. I would suggest if compilation fails, leave the existing files as they are, only overwrite on successful compilation.


If editing an include file, you have to save it before compiling, otherwise Fineline uses the 'old' version.


A successful compilation does not clear the error report window in an include tab if that tab previously generated an error.


Cheers,
Tim.

Thanks for the feedback.  I will look into these issues.  Presently working on code collapse and much of it has been completed!

Hi Norm,

--------------------------------------
"At the start of compiling I think the existing hex files get deleted, but if compilation fails, no new hex file is generated. I would suggest if compilation fails, leave the existing files as they are, only overwrite on successful compilation."

This is the compiler not FL as the original IDE does this as well.  I also checked FL's compile routine and didn't find a delete of any files.

--------------------------------------
"If editing an include file, you have to save it before compiling, otherwise Fineline uses the 'old' version."

This issue was corrected in FL v5.0.6

--------------------------------------
"A successful compilation does not clear the error report window in an include tab if that tab previously generated an error."

I am unable to recreate this issue.

Fixed in FL v5.1.0 which is presently in beta testing.

I am seeing the includes and includes of includes of all displayed in the explorer window when the .bas file is in view other wise if on a .inc tab just the includes and includes of that tab.
