Hi,

My question is very easy.

I have a workspace with a project.

I would like to know if it is possible to configure Zeus so that I don't need to drag and drop new files in the project ?

In others word, when I create a new file in my project directory, I want that its is automatically added to workspace.

Thanks

I would like to know if it is possible to configure Zeus so that I don't need to drag and drop new files in the project?

One other way to add a file to the workspace is to right click on the project and use Add current file to project option from the popup menu.

I want that its is automatically added to workspace.

Unfortunately at this time there is no way to automatically do this

But I will put this feature request on the Zeus list of things to todo.

Cheers Jussi

Ok Thanks.

Yes it will be very fine if we can have a checkbox or something like that in one of the configurations menu to tell Zeus to automatically add new files to the project.

The best thing will be to have a main directory project. For example I tell to Zeus that my project directory is "C:\MyProject". So, Zeus add automatically all sub-directory and files that are in this project directory.

When new files are created IN THIS project directory, there are automatically added to the project.

The latest Zeus release adds file save as triggers to the Options, Editor Options, Triggers panel.

You can use a postfix file save as trigger to add any newly created and saved files to any given project or folder.

A typical event_filesaveas_postfix.lua macro trigger is shown below:

Code: Select all

function key_macro()
    local details = ""

    -- these are the arguments passed in by Zeus
    -- for i = 1, argc(), 1 do
    --     details = details .. "      " .. argv(i - 1) .. "\n"
    -- end
    --
    -- display the details
    -- message_box(0, "This is the new file create macro." .. "\n\nArguments passed in:\n\n" .. details, "Zeus Trigger Event")

    -- look for an open workspace
    if (is_workspace_open() == 1) then

      -- get the active project
      local project = project_active()

      -- must have an active project
      if string.len(project) > 0 then
        -- get the file name
        local file_name = argv(0)

        --message_box(0, "File: " .. file_name .. " Project: " .. project, "Zeus Trigger Event")

        -- add the file to the active project
        project_file_add(project, file_name)

        message("'" .. file_name .. "' text added to '" .. project .."'")
      end
    end
end

key_macro() -- run the macro

Cheers Jussi
