After making versioning utility, it appeared that TheIDE has no way to "auto-process" my sources before they compiled.
The only thing available is "pre-link", but editing sources after they where changed leads to compilation error.

So I propose adding "pre-compile" custom build step for sources auto-update features.

Hi Mindtraveler,

I haven't examined the versioning utility too much, but I believe that all you need is to specify "Output file(s)" that are being changed (the .rc and perhaps some "version.h"?) and set extension column to ".config" in the build step. Then whenever config is changed, the custom step will be run before the listed files are compiled. Or am I missing something here?

Best regards,
Honza
