Thanks very much for an excellent utility! It looks well written and is very well presented. I've installed it on my Vista machine successfully - the only problem that I had was that the mcp file did not install correctly in the right place under Vista, but creating my own version of this was easy anyway. The program itself installed and works with no problems. Great!

Hi Steven,
what version of Vista do you use? because I installed it and tested it under Vista Ultimate edition and it seems to install (even the mcp file) without problem. For the MCP file, David showed me (thanks to him) the way to do it so that it works correctly. What kind of problem have you had please?

I've got the Home Premium edition of Vista. If I remember rightly, it copied the mcp file to the 'C:\Program Files\Mecanique\Swordfish\Plugin\CodeBrowser' folder, but it needed to be in 'C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Mecanique\Swordfish\Plugin\CodeBrowser' on my machine to work. I might have remembered this wrongly, but moving it or re-creating it was easy enough. Is it the plugin packer that deals with this part of the installation?
Steve
P.S. Getting used to the Vista folder structure for apps is still complicated to me..!

may be for you but it may be problematic for newbies. Please, note that the plugin should be declared as Single Instance with reload option in plugin editor.Steven wrote: I might have remembered this wrongly, but moving it or re-creating it was easy enough.
Yes it's the plugin packer that deals with mcp file placement. I'll try it today under home edition to try to reproduce the problem.Steven wrote:Is it the plugin packer that deals with this part of the installation?
Hi Steven,
I installed it on a new Vista Home Premium edition Virtual machine. The plugin worked from first shot. The mcp file was installed in :
C:\Users\UserProfile\AppData\Roaming\Mecanique\SwordfishSE\Plugin\CodeBrowser\
where UserProfile is, of course, the name you gave to your profile when vista was installed.
So I do not know why it has not worked for you. Sorry, I cant reproduce the problem

Thank you. Waiting for feedback and suggestions I think that Code Browser will be more usefull when (once) we will have the ability to assign personal shortcuts to plugins. This will let us call it without leaving the keyboard (althought it's possible now using Alt-TAB if we set the Entre/ESC keys to not close the plugin).gramo wrote:Great plugin, thanks!

Hi Tim,
this plugin shows you the sub/function in the currently edited file.
JohnB has created a very nice plugin (library Explorer) for browsing multiple files and libs.
Code Browser is not the same tool. Code Browser aims at providing a tool to quickly jump from one routine to another. It's really useful for long files with many subs/functions. For little files with 3 or 4 subs it's not so useful.
You can find a wide description of its utility and its functionning mode in the help file provided with it.
