Categorized items in New project dialog

Post by marfi »

Hi,
I have one suggestion: it would be nice to have items in "New Project" dialog sorted by various categories (like Console, GUI, wxWidgets, Plugins, Others, ...). These categories would be also arranged into a tree structure. As I know a current project templates are located in a one-level directory structure, so it could be quite easy to support also multi-level directory structure where the project templates will be stored. Also some (XML-based?) metafile could be located in this directories to supply additional info (category description, icon, ...). User-defined templates could be then stored in one specialized category (directory) called (for example) "User templates". What do you think about it?

Best regards
Michal

This is a nice idea, I will probably use the new property added to the project XML file: 'InternalType'
Which was designed exactly for this purpose, to set a sub-category to the common ones (executable, static library and dynamic library).

Can you please submit a feature request for this?

Btw, did I mention that patches are most welcome? :)

Ok, I've submited the feature request. I also plan to send you some templates I created and use. Maybe I could try to implement the templates' categorization myself - it depends on my free time ... (I suppose your limitations are the same ;) ).

Btw. What about the bug I've reported here http://codelite.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=380 which prevents me from making a CL's plugin? Have you already fixed it? Or is there any workaround?
