Re: Sorry, but... this project is still alive?

As I said, this is a good work... anyway, it's not bug-free.
the navigator (in particular, "hyper" task)  hangs a lot of times in our
software tree, maybe for the presence of relatively complex macros... is
there a way to catch some error messages? I could post these messages to
the developers to help understanding the problem.
When you switch to another editor (gvim, scite, xemacs,...) you loose the
context menu... I'm wrong? Is there the possibility to interface an
external editor with Source Navigator? Somewhere I saw a project that
integrates gvim with cscope, that's a similar approach.

Hi all,

Well, for me, this tool is a boon for my development problems.  I have to
deal
with
over 10 Million lines of C++ spread over some 900 directories with no real
organization.
Source Nav builds a database in about 4 hours and then I don't have to care
where anything lives.
It tells me exactly what I want to know, where things are declared and
where
things are implemented. and
then zaps me to them.  Perfect.

I don't care for the editor, so I modified a button on the editor pane
to pop up gvim on the current file to edit it, and I fixed the
revision-control functions to check-in and out of clearcase.
The rest is perfect.   The include map is something to behold (at least for
my
code), and the class tree is just great.

This tool is a piece of work.  Thanks to everyone.
