Import/Export Custom Environment and Color Settings

Status: Already Implemented Submitted by on 08-10-2011 11:18 AM 4 Comment

It would be nice to be able to import and export custom environment and color settings.  This would allow users to transfer settings to another computer, and it would also allow the community to create color schemes that could be shared.  Creating a good color scheme from scratch is time consuming, so it would be nice for both the creater and the user to be able to share the work that is done.

function list

Status: Already Implemented Submitted by Active Participant on 04-15-2013 12:18 PM 3 Comment

I would like to suggest a function tree view in CVI.  I feel this is sorely missing.  Many times, I want to jump right to a function, but I don't remember where it is.  In a single C file with 1,000+ lines, this can be very aggravating.

 

For this reason, I tend to use Notepad++ for the heavy lifting, along with the Source Cookifier plugin.  See attached screenshot of that plugin.

 

There are options in the plugin to enable certain features, such as the global and local variables in addition to the function names.  When you are inside a function in the souce editor, the tree updates with a selection to show that you are inside that function.  This is very helpful with functions that have more lines than available veritcal screen space.  This way, I don't have to scroll up to see what function I'm looking at.  I simply look at the tree with a glance and I know.
