[Icc-mot] ImageCraft Blog

[jpdi]

Hi, Richard,

I'm very late in my development, especially under XGate.

I agree with the other mails below : I NEED XGate support.

Some things about editor : I don't use integrated editor, preferring
TextPad, using it with other compilers I use. 
So it's great to be able to choose the editor I want. Anyway, I use IDE to
compile and see errors, and a double-click on an error launch my editor to
the line where the compiler doesn't understand. It's great for me, and it's
enough.

About IDE, I saw than IDE modify the .src file when opening a project file,
and delete all path I wrote. 
ICC12 version 6 didn't that, allowing me to write absolute path or relative
path for accessing the files.

For me, it was better to be able to write in .scr file (with my usual
editor) the absolute or relative path to the files I need in my projects,
and to see compiler respecting what I wrote.
Why did you change it from V6 to V7 ?

Best regards.

Joel Petrique
