Display the File Path in Caption-Bar

Post by tms »

I like the new IDE, but i'm missing a feature: I used to have about 10 or more files open - some for the project i'm working on, and some as examples of previous solutions. If - after a few days - i decided to change something in one of the example-files and want to save it under a different name in the same directory as the original file, there is no way to figure out from what directory i have opened that file. In the 'old' IDE the Path of the individual files was shown in the Caption-Bar of the Editor-Window. I'm dearly missing that feature.

Nevertheless: thanks for the good work, Freak :!: :D

Makes sense.

I have just added a Preference option for this. Will be out with the
next beta release.

Cool! :) I e-mailed Fred about this when the first beta came out, because
I used it a lot too with the v3.93 editor -- any idea why it was removed?
I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

He never told me... we need to work on our communications :roll:

Well, it was not really "removed" as in "taken out of the code".
The new IDE was rewritten from the ground up, and i just never gave this a thought really.

No problem. Glad to know it's coming back -- it's very handy! :)

Remembering the Path

Post by tms »

It would also be usefull if you remember the path from where the file was opened (you already have it in the preferences-file of the IDE).
Then you can give that path as a proposal for "Save As..." - will also be very handy!
Greetings - tms :)
