CodeLite IDE

Hi,

when ever i do a install of codelite it overwrites the settings/changes i have made. any chances it can be saved and during installation or give option to user to choose save or overwrite.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Which settings are getting override?

Since the following files are *not* getting overrden: codelite.xml (which contains most of your settings) and the syntax highlight files.


Eran

editor settings, view settings, my workspace settings, ---> all these are changed

Which version of codelite are u using?

Since I cant reproduce it (I modified codelite settings, then reinstalled it - nothing wrong with it)

Eran

it used to happen to me in every version. i will chk it again with recent release and update you.

HI,

Today i reinstalled Codelite above a previous install(same version) and it still overwrote 3 files. build_settings.xml, codelite.layout, debuggers.xml,

Previously i had added a arm-linux compiler which vanished now and i have to add it agan.

I had removed build & debugger toolbar and navigation bar from view panel and it again re-appeared after reinstallaion.

So, if possible, can you give options during installation whether append/remover previous files that will be overwritten during new installtion.

when new features are added & u need to change/append/overwrite these files, then you can inform the user about the changes and continue further steps( backup & overwrite or delete & write).

Thanks for consideration.

Hi,

Please submit a bug report for:
build_settings.xml and debuggers.xml

About codelite.layout: the installation will keep override it, since it is a bug in wxWidgets itself, which does not allow user to see new buttons/toolbars (and you wont be able to view them unless you remove the old layout file)
