Add setting to run convert to text - all files upon build project/exe
Is there an existing setting to run foxbin2prg on all files within a project when building? I'm finding that files opened at the command line, GoFish, etc. don't tend to update text files automatically like opening within project explorer does. I'm attaching a clip of my version control settings for reference.
I'm getting in the habit of right-clicking on the project, choosing "Convert binary to text" then "all files" to catch anything that has changed since the last build, but it would be great to have an option to do that at the beginning of the build automatically.
Thanks for a great project manager!

Hi Steve,
Project Explorer has add-on hooks that you can write. Sounds like you might want to create a BeforeProjectBuild add-on. There are actual add-on examples in the Thor\Tools\Apps\Project Explorer\Addins folder (or wherever you have it installed). See the SetVersionNumber.prg program which sets the version number before each build or the SignAfterBuild.prg program if you want to handle your requirements after the build is completed.
