Description shiretu 2009-06-24 15:19:20 UTC

Hi,

Do you think is possible to have a "Mass format" option? It would be VERY useful. I have a project with ~300 files and it would be very nice to bring them all to 
the same coding standard at once. Also, on the right we have a red line (the 80 chars barrier). It would be very useful to have an option somewhere to enforce 
it in real time typing. If that is not possible, at least at the code formatting.


Thank you

it would be nice in 6.9 final too ...

Where did it go? :)

I had it for a while... After installing 6.9 is not available anymore... 

Suggestions?

Cheers,
Andrei

Hi guys,

Can you please please bring back the mass formatting feature? I had it before (in the very old revisions) but now it seems it is gone. IMHO this is a _must_have_.

Also, can you give your opinions about the 80 characters red line? Is there anyway we can enforce that?

The already perfectly working formatting for C/C++ + mass formatting + 80 characters barrier will enable us to make all the C/C++ sources look perfect in the standard unix style. Extremely helpful when doing patches here and there in vim.

If it is impossible to make all of them, at least mass formatting would be very nice to have

Thank you

Feature is available in NB 7.3 (implemented in platform)
