[rejected] Check the whole mod for FIND-errors

[espenhh]

When EasyMOD stop on a find-error I have to go to the MOD-script and fix that error. Then I have to upload the file, cross my fingers that now it is fine, but then a new FIND-error occur. My idea is:
Why don't you let EasyMOD continue with the rest of the MOD-script even when a FIND-error occur, so it makes a list of changes you have to fix. Then you can fix everyone at one time, and you don't have to upload the file and parse it MANY times.

Do you understand me (bad english )

Maybe this change is too big and difficult, but it would be great!


Thanks...

This is a reason for having a preview mode which is already going to be added in 0.0.11. That way you can fix all of the problems before installing the MOD.

EM looks through a file sequentially. If it can't find something then that means it has hit the end of the file. I can't just start again at the top of the file b/c things could get out of order.

Not a bad idea, but it just is not possible. Besides, things will get better once the EMC standards are out and Authors are using them

Nuttzy, you missed the idea.

The idea was that EasyMOD try processing the whole MOD before dying and reporting only the first error. The idea was to report all errors so you only have to go back to fix them once.

What I am saying that once something is not found in a file then I can't do anything else with that file. I could move on to other files though. But I think this would be very confusing to some people. Remember, we aren't always dealing with the sharpest knives in the draw

But as wgeric points out, the preview mode is probably a good place to implement this.

Oh, OK, I see what you're saying...

Where is that knife sharpener?? *spots list of laws and a box of matches* Oh, there it is....

Yeah, I guess so.

OK

But what really is the differense wbetween the planned "preview mode", and step one...???... Sure you have explained it, but I can't remember...

Through your webbrowser the changes that are proposed to be made will be visible and highlighted whereas currently you would need edit the intermediate files and try to search for the changes.

Nice!!!

Just out of curiousity, can't you keep track of where your current filepointer is, store a copy of it or something perhaps, and if you hit the end of the file while still searching, revert to your backup filepointer, skip the bork FIND, and go onto the next?

my fileaccess php skillz are not l33t...

perhaps this suggestion is redundant...
