Not bad. Is it written in D? A few notes: - It's much faster to just pass all the files to dmd at once and compile/link all in one step. So, instead of this: dmd -wi -c a.d -ofoutput\a.d dmd -wi -c b.d -ofoutput\b.d dmd -ofa.exe output\a.obj output\b.obj Just do this: dmd -wi -ofa.exe -odoutput a.d b.d It's a lot faster, plus in my experience compiling separately can sometimes lead to linking problems (somehting to do with how dmd handles templates, I think). - To support things like ldc, gdc and dvm (via ldmd, gdmd, dvm-current-dc.bat, etc...), the config file should take a path to the actual exe or bat (such as dmd.exe) the users wants to run, instead of just the path to "dmd.exe". So like "dmd_path=C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd.exe" insetad of "dmd_path=C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin" - The first couple times I made a new project I got some error about it not being able to copy a template. But then it seemed to work ok anyway. I don't remember exactly what it said, and it doesn't seem to be happening anymore (don't know why) so I can't check. - It *seems* to start up with a default blank project, but you can't use it. You still have to go to "File->New project". That's a little confusing. - It'd be good to be able to select and copy the text in the compilation panel at the bottom. - It'd be intuitive to be able to add files to a project by right-clicking "D source files" or whatever and then have "Add file(s)..." in a drop-down menu. - More features and configurability with both building and interface would be nice to have in later versions, ie more bells and whistles ;) I love that the interface is super-fast, light on memory, and uses the native system controls. And the automatic build management and "Help" links are really nice to have.
