Hi,

I have had a add-on package for Lazarus for age now. It registers a new project type "fpGUI Toolkit Application".

But when I go "File > New > fpGUI Toolkit Application", there are now files opened in the editor window. How do I tell Lazarus to open the project.lpr file, after creating the new project?

Creating a new project should close all open files. Can you send me the package?

It's included in the fpGUI repository in the 'extra/lazarus_ide/' directory. I attached that directory archived to this email.

The package in question is 'fpgui_ide.lpk'

- It registers the new project type correctly.
- It creates the new project correctly.
- It references the 'fpgui_toolkit' package as a
project requirement correctly.
- It just doesn't open the project1.lpr file, so the developer stares at an empty looking Lazarus IDE (no editor window visible).

The IDE now opens the main source if no secondary sources were created.

Just added, or already existing in Trunk? I take it this will not be back-ported to the Lazarus stable branch?

It's a feature, so I guess not.

You could have opened it already before by overriding CreateStartFiles and calling DoOpenEditorFile.
The new change just makes things more comfortable and I hope does not break any existing project.

Excellent, I'll do that then. Thanks for the tip.
