Ha, my favorite tool to post feature requests for

Could SCLC count the lines of .XAML files, when also counting .CS files? Would need extra entries in the selection combobox (*.cs/*.xaml and probably *.vb/*.xaml), but the xaml is a rather large part of WPF projects these days.

Not sure if it should plainly count the lines as found, or normalize to 1 attribute per line, or a complete item, including all attributes, as 1 line. Lines as found in the file should be good enough, I guess.

Do you have such a project handy? If you could zip the entire project folder with its subfolders and post it here, I'll download it and use it as a test case.

[Ath]

I have no project I can share here, but I quickly threw together a HelloWpfWorld thingy

[kyrathaba]

Okay, I've updated the program to scan XAML files. You can redownload, or you should just be able to update the program using the "Update" button in the About dialog, accessible under the Help menu.

Lines as found in the file should be good enough, I guess.

Does this.

Hey, nice and quick

But, like with the standard *.cs and *.vb filters (I didn't request this yet, did I ), it might be smart to exclude the generated stuff in the *\obj\* project directory:

[kyrathaba]

Easy enough. I'll try to get to it in the day few hours.

Version 1.0.1.2

Ok, now, by default, files in the /obj/ subdirectory of your project are excluded. You can uncheck the checkbox if you want to count them.

[Ath]

That's working a lot more convenient indeed, thanks for the quick response!

But also there's a few things I have found

• When enabling/disabling the "Exclude /obj/ files" option and "Auto-recount when File Options change" is enabled, a Recount doesn't happen, though it would be quite logical if it did.
• When resizing the form, the grid columns resize automagically, this is happening from code, right? It'd be nice if my manual width-changes would be used as the relative size.
• When resizing, the Browse and Recount combo and button move with the right side of the form, but the File filter label/combo stay in their original place. That's a bit funky imho.
• After a restart, the form is back to it's original size, position and File filter selection. Can these be saved between sessions?

No need to rush, but would be nice to have.

Ath,

In version 1.0.1.3 I believe I've addressed your requests listed in numbers 1, 3, and 4 above. In number two, I've caused the column widths to be, respectively, 80%, 15%, and 5% of the width of the ListView control. Not exactly what you've asked for, but in response to two email feature requests I've received recently (on 12/16 and 01/03). Let me know if you find these changes a general improvement.

You should be able to download the update from within the program, although I also provide the link below:

Note: this version also corrects error where the update-checker says "Kyrathaba's Hangman has found an available update", LOL! Can you say, copy/paste error?

[Ath]

Wow, that's quick! Thanks

I can live with the columns being resized, that's no big issue, I now just resize the form so that the contents of all columns is completely readable, and the size is stored, so

[kyrathaba]

Great! Happy to be of service

Ath, thanks so much for pointing out those areas that needed improvement. People like you are largely responsible for developers polishing off those rough edges in their apps.
