Lib finder Timeline

Timeline for lib_finder:

Task	Description	Estimated time	Finished
Predefined libraries	Currently lib_finder allow to search for libraries and search filters can be defined in configuration files. But if someone provides library which is already set-up and this information in sure and constant, it should also be able to provide final library configuration using simillar scheme to search filters. Additionally, such library settings could give possibility to store dorectories relatively to code::blocks' directory which will allow to build some portable usb-drive C::B	1 day	No
Support for multiple configuration directories	Library search filters are stored in xml files located in some settings directory. Currently only one directory is scanned when those files are loaded. But it's known that on some systems (f.ex. unix) there may be more than one directory with data. A set of directories should be read, not only one.	1 hour	Yes
Library synonymes	Each library sould be accessible using more than one name. This could be usefull because even now there are different names for libraries when using lib_finder settings and pkg-config ones.	1 day	No
Type of library result	Structure LibraryResult should have extra field called type which would be: pkg-config, predefined or detected. By providing type, all results, no matter whether stored or detected from pkg-config could use one structure. That would greatly ease things in future when other possible sources would be added	1 day	No
Edition of library results	There should be ability to view all known libraries and edit detected ones. That could help finding mistakes etc. It could also be usefull to set order of libraries.	1 day	No
Detection of used libraries	By scanning #include lines it should be easy to detect what libraries should be included with project to compile it without problems. It could be also added into HeaderFixup plugin (available using through scripting or something)	2 days	No
Separate configuration for build targets	Each build target should have it's own set of libraries and there should be one global set of libraries.	1 day	No
Library version support	When declaring that project use library, it should be possible to set some version filters (and other kinds of filters)	1 week	No
Search results priorities	Search results should have priorities. Pkg-config libraries would have the lowest priority, next would be predefined results, detected libraries could have any priority declared in detection filter files. That would help finding better results.	1 week	No
Set custom variables when detecting libs	There could be some extra option which would set value of variable, it shouldn't be possible only from path	1 hour	No
Integration with scripting system	Some procedures (like adding library to project) should be availble in scripting system. That would allow to use lib_finder in project wizards and invoke it from other plugins.	1 hour	Yes
Background search	Searching for libraries could be done on separate thread with possibility to unfreeze the IDE wile searching.	1 hour	No
