Wish B4A / B4J B4XPages template

[klaus]

In B4A 10.6 we have the new %PROJECT_NAME% variable it would be interesting to have in the B4XPages template:
this line by default:
'Ctrl + click to export as zip: ide://run?File=%B4X%\Zipper.jar&Args=%PROJECT_NAME%.zip
instead of this line:
'Ctrl + click to export as zip: ide://run?File=%B4X%\Zipper.jar&Args=Project.zip

The same for B4J.

It (%PROJECT_NAME%) was created just for that.

However we can create our own templates.

I know !
But when you create a new B4XPages project from the IDE you get the default B4XPages template.
And there we still have : ...jar&Args=Project.zip
and I would like to have : ...jar&Args=%PROJECT_NAME%.zip

Sì, lo avevo capito perfettamente

That's what I did.

Change its name. It is your own B4XPages template. kfuB4XPages.b4xtemplate?

You will have both, the original one and yours, in the IDE.

No, because any user can replace it without any problem in the internal libraries folders.
And I hope that Erel will take it over.
If Erel disagrees, I will remove it.

 

[Erel]

The reason that I haven't made this change is that I wasn't able to get it working properly with names with non-ascii characters. The IDE starts an external process and the encoding depends on the specific machine encoding. It will require some more work.

Thank you for the clarification.
I have the habit to never use non ascii characters in file names.
Do you want me to remove the template file from post #5, or change its name ?

No need. The advanced users who will find it will be able to cope with this small issue.
