New codelite install overwrites previous settings
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

Re: New codelite install overwrites previous settings
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.

Re: New codelite install overwrites previous settings
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.
Regards

Re: New codelite install overwrites previous settings
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)
