Add default text to each new code page

Since I occasionally get bugs that could easily be solved by using EnableExplicit...
Is it possible to add an Editbox on the
General Preferences Dialog that would enable a user to add some default text to each new codepage?
example:
X - Add the following text to each new codepage:
Code: Select all
; ===============================
; Fill in specific details:
; Date:
; Version:
; Coded by:
; ===============================
EnableExplicit

Yes, either a text header, or a default template file would be nice.

You can already have many different templates in the Template tool.
Just select the one you want when starting a new program and double click on it.
I have for example a template with a minimal event loop and a window I use when I want to test something quickly.

This is an issue with the HELP file; the word "Template" turns up only one hit--WebGadget(), of all things.
I guess it has been a while since I started a new "project". Lately, I have either been working on existing ones, or short projects that do not need a "project" file.

I'm not sure to understand the part about the projects in relation to the template tool
About the template tool: if you search template"S" it will return that one too.
Sometimes you have try small variations to get a useful match from the search ...

agreed and also adding macro would be nice
netbeans use dat for automatically licensing a whole project without typing the title, author, date,... on every new files.
example with gpl 3.0
Code: Select all
<#if licenseFirst??>
${licenseFirst}
</#if>
${licensePrefix}Copyright (C) ${date?date?string("yyyy")} ${project.organization!user}
${licensePrefix?replace(" +$", "", "r")}

<#if licenseLast??>
${licenseLast}
</#if>

When I read this...
Just select the one you want when starting a new program and double click on it.
...somehow my eyes replaced "new program" with "new project"... I don't know why, but maybe it is because I have never seen the template option come up in recent months, and I could not find Template in the help file, so I guessed it must have been in the new project settings. Now I see it is in the Tools menu.
Nice to see a feature request get implemented so quickly!

I added the possibility to execute a tool when a new source is created. This way you can generate any header you want with a simple tool like this:
Code: Select all
; Configure as
;
; Commandline: "%TEMPFILE"
; Trigger: "New Sourcecode created"
; [x] Wait until tool quits
; [x] Reload Source after tool has quit
; (x) into current source
; [x] Hide tool from the Main menu
;
File$ = ProgramParameter()
If CreateFile(0, File$)
WriteStringN(0, ";")
WriteStringN(0, "; Created on: " + FormatDate("%dd/%mm/%yyyy %hh:%ii", Date()))
WriteStringN(0, ";")
CloseFile(0)
EndIf
It should be available in the next beta.
