Comments on my new NECTO
Posted: 20 May 2020 15:14
Hi!
I have just installed my NECTO v.1.0.5 because I though it would be much better than my clasic MikroC PRO IDE.
After testing it and reading some subjects in this forum, here are my first claims or credits:
1. It's very good and useful the feature of editing the same source on several screens. I asked for it to MikroE 4 years ago.
2. Now I get a Warning of "illegal 2 bytes" in characters, as example, in CHAR Z[]="ç" , where MikroC PRO did not say anything.
Does it mind that my code will now fail if a character variable Z is defined like [2] characters only?
3. I agree other people that now we miss A LOT a list of functions of my source program. HOW can I get it?. It was REALLY useful in Mikroc Pro.
I have been unable to get such list in Code Explorer.
4. BTW, Code Explorer stays constinuously "parsing the source file", and it doesn't show anything unless you write something in "search" field. Why?
More: touching and touching Code Explorer, in the end I have just got a list of all my functions, variables, and so on.... Therefore, What was I doing bad?
Can somebody tell me how to manage Code Explorer to get those lists again?
BTW: How can I sort out alphabeticaly the list of functions?
5. How can I find the line with the initial declaration of a variable?. In MikroC Pro was CTRL+D, but in NECTO it puts a comment line
6. In MikroC was easier to follow an opening bracket if you pointed it, because then it highlighted the correspondent closing bracket. But NECTO marks in gray the full block, and it makes a little more difficult to see the closing bracket.
7. Does not exist an icon for "saving the source" when I edit?. I find only CTRL+S, very uncomfortable.
8. Where is now the ASCII characters table?
9. I have compiled again a program, but now, in windows "Issues", when I click on an error I am not located in the respective source line. On other words, clicking on issues doesn't take me to conflictive line.
10. I first copied my files (.mci ...) from clasic MikroC PRO to a directory, then I ran NECTO compiling on this content and it generated a .HEX file identical to the classic.
But, creating a new project in NECTO, with the same source file and identical mcu settings, now creates a .HEX file absolutely different than one from classic MicroC Pro.
Please, what is the possible reason?
Thank you for your help.
