[Req.] Add '%MAINFILE' to Ext. Tool Arguments.

Post by Env »

Hey,

Can we please have a '%MAINFILE' or something similar (indicating the main file for the current project) added to the list of Arguments that can be passed to an external tool? I know about %COMPILEFILE, %TEMPFILE etc. but they have disadvantages... '%COMPILEFILE' is only applicable when running the ext. tool on a Compile event, and '%TEMPFILE' will only display the currently focused source file in the project.


A scenario where this new feature will be useful is where you have an external tool that may process the project files for any reason, but not necessarily wanted at compile time.


Thanks!
