Looks good. I've setup it and play for a few minutes. Well this may be best IDE
for D in my eyes if Elephat will has one small but very very important thing for
big projects:
Be able to reflect real files/dirs layout in project (not separate project tree
which can differ) like eclipse and PN2 does. However you can ask: how to
enumerate files to compile? Well I suggest give real-reflect ability just when
compile method is `make` or `external tool`. This is the main thing that stops
me before I can migrate to Elephant.

Another thing that should be is run build tool with different command line params according to current config (release / debug).

And optionaly it will be very nice if I can to add highlighting for some language and associate filename pattern with that language.

It was critics but as a whole: great work

Intereseting, what are the advantages to this ?

Like MSVC's 'build profiles' ?

I thought about this, but its alot of work :).  And its not really a general purpose editor, more just for D.  I still use emacs for everything else. Might add C support, XML , other languages that D uses though.

Thanks,
Charlie

So what is Elephant written in (lang and tools)?  Was that a ton of work or some sort of template plus a semi-ton of work?

C++ , MFC , CodeJock components & MSVC 6.  It was a ton of work :S , i had to (re)write most of the components ( GrepFiles, CompilerDriver, Parser , SettingsLib, ScintillaD ... and soon to come DStripper, DPrettyPrinter ,SVN and CVS libs [ hopefully theres some good C++ CVS / SVN stuff ] -- all of which Id welcome help!  ) so it took a while.  But I have some good components I can re-use now , most of which Ill make available eventually ( if anyone wants them. ).

I would have written in D but DFL doesnt support MDI yet, and DMD is written in C++ and Im no good with writing parsers :).

I've been following this thread, and wanted you to know that I am very interested in Elephant.  I'll give it a shot this weekend.

At first, I read this as "DPrettyStripper" and thought "now *there's* an interesting program!"

::smacks self with a trout::

D needs a good IDE.  It sounds like you're well on your way to making that work.

Hehe , the fembots come later ;).

Advantage is that I should not to do same work twice. I use MSVC for a several
years at work which has the same paradigm - separate .sln tree. Practice shows
that .sln project structure is always the same as in real file system. Separate
tree just adds complexity and adds no advantages: very often error is creating
new file in BLA_BLA project dir but physicaly in DEFAULT_NEWFILE_DIR. Plus - one
big big big advantage of real reflection is that I can do some actions on dirs
from within IDE right as from windows-shell, for example commit/update folder
with SVN or CVS.
Separate tree is useful just to know what to compile when built-in building
method is used, but why to restrict users that use make / scons / etc I can't
understand.

Cool! :)

Debugger, yeh? And dreams will finally come true.

Did you consider writing this with WTL rather than with MFC ?
As far as I can see there is nothing special there which WTL does not have
already for free.
Oh, yeh - the menus....  :)

It does sound useful, and reasonably easy at first , but does the IDE _enfore_ these rules ?  For instance if adding a file thats three levels deep in /src/modules/xml.d to an exisitng project , does the IDE then create , in the IDE project directory tree, the Src -> Modules directory's ? Does it require those directories already be added to the project ? Or is it just when a new project is setup , and the IDE's New Folder option is chosen that the folder is created on the file system ?

I will download PN2 and try to test.


Thanks,
Charlie
