Hi, is there any way to prompt the user to ask something, for example, I am compiling a java package, but I also want to run, so after compiling the package it asks me to right path of the ".class" file to run .

[@OdatNurd]

Something like that would be possible with an additional plugin that could ask you for information before it executes the build, but nothing does something like that out of the box.

Hey! There's a good chance this has already been covered - but on the subject of reusability I thought this was relevant: Currently I have 3 build systems, compile makefile (cmake build), compile (make) and run (execute program). Running each build system individually is pretty annoying, is there any way to chain these together automatically? For example having one build system run another before it? One consideration is that it would need to only run the next build system if the previous one did not fail... Any ideas? Thanks!

I covered some ways to handle a situation like this in today's video; we're also going to play with some plugin solutions in tonight's live stream. You can watch the video here (launch is 10 minutes from now) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF6WhYuXitebfNU

Hello! AutoFileName plugin works strange into ST4, any tips on how to fix this?

[@OdatNurd]

Not offhand but I've seen reports from other people about the same package. It seems like it's a rather old package that was badly in need of an update even before ST4 came around, but I don't think it's supported any longer. I'm not sure what the replacement for it would be, though.
