- Version 2.10 of VMake adds a new CONFIG slot to the VMake.config file to
- enhance editting of project files, and modifies CONFIG slot 3 to change the
- way the ADD gadget works.
-
- CONFIG "10" "ame %f hunt %_PORT_)"
-
- Config slot 10 is a command which will be passed to execute(), in the same
- fashion as config slot 7. This string will be executed whenever the edit
- command is invoked and the item currently selected in the list is the
- project file (eg myproject.dice)
-
- Config slot 7 is the command used by edit for all other files. It is
- appropriate to RUN the editor in this case. This allows REXX interchanges
- between the editor and VMake, eg for processing compile errors.
-
- Config slot 10 should invoke the editor directly, so that control will not
- be returned to VMake until the editor has saved the file. If the editor is
- invoked, then the READ command will be invoked to read the modified project
- file after it has been editted. This will not work correctly if you RUN the
- editor.
-
- If Config slot 10 is not present, VMake will use Config slot 7 to edit the
- project file like any other file, and will not invoke the READ command after
- the edit command. This is the way things worked before version 2.10
-
- CONFIG slot 3 provides the default pattern match used when the ADD gadget in
- the file list is used. It has been modified to:
- "(#?.C|#?.H|#?FILE#?)"
-
- In addition to updating the documentation for this config slot, it might be
- good to add the following advice with config slots 2, 3 and 4, in the
- documentation for the affected commands: READ, NEW, SAVE, and RECFG; and in
- the section "Creating a new file in a Project" which describes using the NEW
- gadget to add a file to a project.
-
- CONFIG slot 2 is used when you use the READ, NEW or SAVE commands without a
- definite argument as the default pattern for the file requester. You can
- override the option by typing "#?" in the FILE entry of the file requester,
- or you can modify CONFIG slot 2 to meet your needs.
-
- CONFIG slot 3 is used when you press the NEW gadget in VMake's file list
- gadget as the default pattern match for the file requester. You can override
- or modify ... (as above)
-
- CONFIG slot 4 (as modified by version 2.7. not as described in the original
- docs) is used when you use the RECFG command to read a new configuration file.
- (same blurb as for 2 & 3)
