[Implemented] Projectmanagement

Dear Fred and PureBasic Developer-Team,

I have just a little wish for any future PB-IDE.

Is it possible to integrate a projectmanagement, which saves automaticly all included files of the respective project ?
It is not very urgently, because it is only a comfort.

Best regards

What do you mean by "saves all"? Like copies all of them?

I think he is talking about how Visual Studio has project files. When you save a project file it will save all files in the project. I wish the PB IDE had this feature.

Yes. This is what I mean.
It would be very comfortable on big projects.
Many of my projects haves more than 10 included PBIs.
I made already a lot of bugs, because I forgot to store some PBIs.

Sort of like the "Save All" command on the file menu?

Ya kinda like that but the way we are talking about it would only save what is in the project and not the files opened that are outside.

A real projectmanagement does not only "save them all".
In a lot of projectmanagements, you can include new files and remove some files per click.

I would hope that Freak or Fred (whoever works on the editor) has most likely worked with Visual Studio or a project manager program so they would know what we are talking about and what we would like to see added in the PB IDE.

Project Manager normally does the following:

1. Allows you to add or remove files from the project
2. Global Settings for the projects (for example all the files in the project have a main file they they get included from) and you do not have to set all the files individually
3. You can save all files at once by just saving the project
4. You can open all the files in the project by just selecting the project file

There are probably more but I can not think of anything else right now.

I would like to see these features in the PB IDE because they would make working on large programs with 5 to 10 or more files easiser. Because it would handle the managing for you.

The interface of PB IDE could easily support something like this since we have the SideBar so nothing too hard to add to the interface. Most of the work would just be adding it to the program.
