disable auto project files on launch

iysil — Sun, 23 Jul 2006 00:49:01 -0000

An option to disable the creation of rh_opt.* files
every time RHIDE is opened from anywhere (in the MS-DOS
release anyway).

"edit-windows bar"

maaf — Tue, 11 Jan 2005 13:04:45 -0000

An interesting feature, that would allow fast switching
among different windows would be a "edit-windows bar",
similar to the MS-Windows taskbar (normally at the
bottom of the screen), like this:

| myprog.c | longfile.log[1] | longfile.log[2] |

In the example above, there is one edit-window open for
myprog.c and two edit windows open for longfile.log

It should be provided an option to disable (or hide)
this "windows bar", for people used to the old style.

This "edit-window bar" could be extended to include
read-only windows, like message windows or read-only
files.

Edit the same file in multiple windows capability

maaf — Tue, 11 Jan 2005 12:48:46 -0000

If possible I would like future releases of Rhide to be
able to edit the same file using multiple windows, like
Turbo C++ 3.0.
This is specially useful for large source files. Where
you can, for example, edit code at line 850 and 300 of
the same file, without having to scroll up and down.

Import makefile info to project

Harley Smith — Sun, 20 Jul 2003 13:47:00 -0000

Could you implement a feature whereby a developer can
import information from an existing makefile to a new
project, without having to manually include all of the
files and options from the makefile?

hot-keys and macros

edward collins — Tue, 31 Dec 2002 02:50:36 -0000

Will RHIDE have hot-keys for the macros in the near
future? If not, I would like to make the suggestion.

I'm a college student in computer science and I
WORSHIP Rhide. It has helped me write quite a few
complex projects. Many, many thanks for your time
and effort developing Rhide.

Open windows list in TP60 IDE style

Petr Slansky — Wed, 27 Nov 2002 19:18:36 -0000

TP60 IDE sorts the list of windows in the "last used on
the top" order. This list is accesed by ALT+0
keystroke. TC31 IDE and RHIDE sorts the list in
different order (list is sorted by window number). I
miss the possibility of sorting windows in the TP60
way, it helps me a lot to switch between windows. The
best will be to have a switch that will set how list of
windows have to be sorted.

New keyboard features

Alejandro Torras — Sun, 25 Aug 2002 09:14:46 -0000

Hi,

I used RHide since I had my first Pentium and I am very
impressed how it has grown.

Nowadays I'm programming with JBuilder 6.

It supports a "smart home" that goes to the first non-
blank charcter of the line, an "autoindent after opening
brace", an "align closing brace" that puts the closing
brace at the same column that it's openning one, and
some more.

It could be nice to incorporate this features in future
releases.

Thanks.

mingw32 binary

Igor Gnip — Thu, 01 Aug 2002 19:49:15 -0000

Rhide version that could be used with mingw-1.1

I tried to make it on my own:

1. I compiled TVISION 2.0 snapshots ... it was painfull
expirience but it worked in the end.

2. I compiled setedit 0.4.57 was smoother that tvision
but definitely not out-of-the-box.

3. I downloaded gdb 5.2.1 from sources.redhat.com

4. Tried to compile gdb 5.2.1. failed.

5. Run into 'readline' problems. downloaded readline-
4.2-mingw and forced gdb to use it (_the_pain_!)

6. another GDB issue:

checking for cygwin... no
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -lHcurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... (cached) yes
checking for X... no
configure: error: *** Gdb does not support native target
i686-pc-mingw32
Configure in /mingw/src/gdb-5.2.1/mybuild/gdb failed,
exiting.

7. I can't find any reference to gdb 5.0 mingw32 port so I
assume regular gdb 5.0 source-archive is ok.

CVS support

I think it would very helpful to add a CVS support for
projects in future releases....

Documentation

Anonymous — Sun, 24 Feb 2002 20:15:07 -0000

I known it's not really an interesting thing to write
an add-on documentation for the program, but I've
noticed that it's missing a bit of help in the RHIDE.
It uses tha GLIBC info pages (gracefully), but what
about the people who didnt known one language itself?
I've seen so many people using the RH to show it in
classoom, to teach programming with it... I mean, why
don't we get some men together and write some info
pages to some languages...? at least the most well
known as C and/or C++
I stated with the C++ but it's not yet working, as I
said, it's not very interesting to WRITE the
documentation.... =) so, by now, please do not send me
snapshot requests =)
