Would you like the Tools and Macros menu entries to depend on your active file type?

Important, even if the size/efficiency of TextPad increases/degrades

(Some) Tools dependant upon file type!

Post by CyberSlug »

The Tools menu (and Macros menu) should only contain entries relavant to your active file type (document class). Right now all tools are global. The idea is to also allow local tools.

For example, your C++ tools might include:
Compile, Comment out, and Uncomment
Your Java tools menu might include:
Compile, Compile Applet, and CTags
Your text and html files would probably contain other entries.

:idea: I'm guessing the TextPad preferences interface would need to have a Tools category under each Document Class. The current Tools entry could be kept for tool menu entries you always want visible.
