Hi,
It took me a week longer than I thought, but it is there now, a new
experimental version of GExperts with the Code Formatter.
I have fixed the bug that made (* followed by a line feed truncate the
source code and also added support for some new Delphi 2006 language
extensions, in particular the methods and operators for records.
You can download it from www.dummzeuch.de
As always I would like to get feedback.
regards

Is that bug still alive?
Also the {$IFDEF} handing was always inadequate.
It needs its own indent position handling separate from the code indent
position.
{$IFDEF }
type
blablah = record
end;
// this should be aligned to the IFDEF
{$ENDIF}

Looks OK to me.
Time for starting to use some bug tracking system so I don't forget...

Been using last month's version quite a bit with no
problems at all (my comments are all // or plain {}).
I'll try some new record members on this new version
and let you know. Were there any other speciic things
you'd like tested besides records and {* style comments ?

Thanks for the update. Is it possible to disable the debug window?

How does this fit with those that have the original Code Formatter
installed..?

possibly with begin ... end sprinkled in like this:
if ... then begin

end else if ... then begin

end else if ... then begin
end;
Both are currently possible, use "hanging begin" style for the second one
and turn off "linebreak between else and if" for both.

formatting.
that don't work as I'd like them or are not yet configurable and still
a few Delphi 2006 language enhancements that don't work.

That's also on my list of things that would be nice to have.
As for having both installed at the same time: I know of no problems there,
as long as you don't assign the same shortcuts.

I'll try this soon, since I use the "old" one to reformat code I have
inherited. The one thing I would really like is to be able to use real tabs
for the indenting. I currently have a thing called "entab" (on my web
site) to do this after reformatting, but it can not be hard to change the
"insert n-spaces" to have a tab option I would have thought.
Thanks for considering it! 8-)
