Hi eMKo,

- what about a refactoring support in TheIDE? I have found nothing. I don't mention moving classes through namespaces or from one library to another, but what about simple function or variable name changes? I do it almost every day in my work... (Java and C#)

I guess I never worked with an IDE that would have such functions. Or I never needed them Smile

I do all of the tasks you named using "Replace in files" dialog... I never needed anything else Smile

If you could point me to some example of software which uses this, I might tell you more. Even video tutorial showing the function would be great. Also, some time ago someone wrote a CodeMetric tool (it is somewhere in the svn) which analyses the code complexity... That is probably the only refactoring support we have Smile

- if I divide an application into multiple packages (which is often done when you are making some software of significant size), is there any way to tell the IDE that I want to make package1 as a dll and copy it to output dir and then a package2 as exe and copy it to output? This is very usual scenario.

Yes, there is a concept of custom build steps. These can be executed for each file with given extension or in pre-linking or post-linking stage. Such custom step executes given external command, so you can create e.g. synchronization script and call it after linking. As copy is very common task, there is even specialized instruction for that Smile

Best regards,
Honza
