Non-standard header extension

[SteelRat]

Hi, i'm new in Codelite. And i have a problem with colouring non-standard extension files. I have template classes wich are declared in *.h file, and their implementation in *.ipp. I've added *.ipp extension to Tag settings->CTags>Advanced->File Types, but code in *.ipp file is still not coloured.

And not a question, but thought:
Swapping between *.h and *.ipp does not work. It can be done as in Visual Assit for Visual Studio - if there are several files with one name then user choices one of them. This is so simple, so i don't understand why none of free IDEs has this feature.

Settings -> Syntax highlight and fonts -> C++ -> File Extensions

(what you did is also needed for code completion purposes)

This can be done with standard extension (cxx, cpp, cc and their couter parts h, hpp)
The reason it is not implemented is because this extension (ipp) is indeed non standard. Implementing this is easy - we just needed to know that it exists...

I can add it to git head, however, you will need to build codelite for this (which is easy on your OS, Ubuntu)
If you are willing to build codelite from sources, I will it now, otherwise, file a feature request

Thank you for fast answer Eran. I'm feel so stupid because of my highlighting problem. =)
About building by myself. I'm using static non-monolithic libs wxWidgets 3.0 - there will be problems with it?

I think so. You can build wxWidgets as shared / multilib but do not run "sudo make install"
However, before building codelite, you just need that the correct wx-config is set in the PATH before running cmake
And when building codelite, you can run cmake with -DCOPY_WX_LIBS=1 (so codelite will copy the wx-3.0 libs into /usr/lib/x86_64-gnu-linux/codelite/)

Never tried it ... so I am not sure about it

Well, with disabled compatibility there is error:

Now i will try with enabled compatibility.

I successfully built and installed Codelite. On pressing F12 IDE asks me to create matched file. =(

ps
By the way, can i use "Add existing file..." to add files and files from subdirs and create virtual folders as real subdirs? It may be very useful to start Codelite project for existring large project.

Do git pull now. I have added "*.ipp" to the default lexer extension + make it work with swap files

Right click on project and select "Import files from directory"

Eran, where were you yesterday? I've added all files by hands, dir by dir. =)
