Plugins or not plugins #2
Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2019 12:03 am
Let me refresh this old topic: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1884&p=4699&hilit=plug+ins#p4699
In this period I must use widely astyle as a plugin in order to simplify the detection of the differences.
And often I need to look and modify the original files.
This means that I toggle very often the "Use plug-ins" option.
To resume, the scenario is as follows: let's suppose I opened a couple of files with the plug-ins.
Having detected where to edit, I switch "Use plug-ins" off and the files are, manually or automatically, recompared.
Now the files are in their standard format.
I then edit what I need and I ask to save the modified file.
I get the warning "File ... was preprocessed by plug-in(s). What you are about to save is not based on the original file's content -- it's what you see on the screen, i.e. the result of running the plug-in(s) and your modifications. Do you want to proceed and overwrite the original file?"
Wrong, of course.
Luckily, by clicking "yes" I can go ahead, but doing it often is annoying.
You're still of the same opinion of three years ago?
(Sorry for being a p.i.t.a.)
