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. -Bill Brune Emilio Riva wrote: > It's a lot of time that Sorce Navigator development seems to be stopped (no > new releases, no news): are you still working on it?
