- I think it'd better if you would format your code properly while
writing. This is probably harder for you since you are not used to use
our coding style but it would be easier for us to read and review the
code and I think it would be easier than reformatting all at once when
you are finished with your branch. But it's just a suggestion.
Hopefully getting better :-) build.c should now be mostly matching the standard in Hacking I think. If not let me know.
- you really should fix the compiler warnings, I get a whole bunch when
compiling the code (see attachment). Most of them are harmless like
unused variables but the more warnings you usually have, the bigger the
danger is to overlook a real warning which you want to see
I don't get any of these, is there an option I need to give make or configure to make it picky???
Should be all fixed, but I can't actually check since I don't get them.
BTW the filetypes one was useful, but most build ones were just annoying thankfully.
- the build settings dialog needs love. First, it needs some spacing
between the GUI elements to match the other Geany dialogs look&feel and
also to be more compliant with the Gnome HIG. But this is low priority
and can be improved later as this is GUI stuff only.
No problem, whats your standard spacing etc?
- the build settings dialog looks already very big and a bit cluttered.
Agree
Not yet sure whether we can improve this, will think about this a bit.
But at least, please don't make it even bigger. Imagine you are a new
user and just want to change the Run command, in the current dialog you
first need to figure out which field does what and where the field is
you actually want to edit.
Don't get me wrong, it's pretty cool so far but maybe we can make it
even cooler. And I'm not one of those Gnome guys who somtimes like
hide/remove any option from the user. But there is also the other way
to overload the GUI with useless stuff. And so, I'm just about to find
a best way in between :).
I agree, its now the biggest dialog in Geany, its just that there is a certain amount of functionality to configure, any suggestions welcome, but I can't see a sensible way of dividing it up to make it smaller.
At the moment it reflects the way the menu is laid out. I think its important to keep that relationship for easy use.
Dividing it vertically doesn't really make sense either, label and command need to be together, and putting working dir on another tab or something is really messy because then I would be skipping back and forward to see which directories related to which commands. Maybe we *have* to be Gnomic and have the working dir column hidden unless the user selects to make it visible.
As you say needs some thought.
