Suggestion for Compile Clarion dialog

[jtdunn]

I’m evaluating Build Automator and the first task I completed was to add all of the apps for one of my projects.  Currently it is a rather tedious process with 35 apps in this one project (and I have many more projects I would like to add to Build Automator).  I’d like to suggest two improvements: 1. provide an option on the Compile Clarion Dialog to remember the last selected Clarion Version and last selected Application and Target directories.  2. provide an option to tag all of the apps to be added to a project and automatically bring them into the Action Items/Compile In Clarion list.

Hi John,

Thank you for your suggestions:)

1.  I'm adding an option to all the actions where the last used folder will be remembered for each field where you can select a file or a folder.

2.  I'm also adding an option for the Clarion compile to select multiple apps.  I.e. it will have a multi-select file dialog so you can select multiple files, and it will also use a queue/list where you can add/remove files and move them up/down to make sure that the correct compile order will be preserved. 

I realized as I started adding multiple apps that the one app compile thingy just wasn't going to cut it, but it didn't make it to the initial release<g>  I'm hoping to have that done before my next release which will be on either side of the weekend:)

On the same note, when you select a file to compile, then when you select the file it is going to create, you could filter it to filename.exe and filename.dll. That way it would be easier to find.... actually you could just let the person select dll or exe. That would speed things up a bit.

Ray,

In the new multi-compile action, you pick the app or prj.  It then looks if there is a .exe or .dll file there and automatically adds that to the target:)  You can of course change the target in case it picks the wrong one.  You also have an option to select a single file, or you can use a multi-select dialog to select a list of files in the same folder.  The program then attempts to figure out the targets from the apps you selected and if there are some that it can't find, those will be blank. 

Thanks for the feedback:)

Best regards,

Thanks Arnor.  Your planned enhancements sound very welcome.  I just placed my order!
