B4XPages. I'm working on the B4A project; it would be useful to have a quick way (icon button / menu item) to open the corresponding B4J or B4i project directly from within the IDE.

Add this to the main page:

B4X:

'B4A ide://run?file=%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe&Args=/c&Args=start&Args=..\..\B4A\ProjectName.b4a
'B4i ide://run?file=%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe&Args=/c&Args=start&Args=..\..\B4i\ProjectName.b4i
'B4J ide://run?file=%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe&Args=/c&Args=start&Args=..\..\B4J\ProjectName.b4j

You need to replace ProjectName with the project name.

Thank you, Erel.

The "comment links" feature is turning to be a very important feature, more important than I expected.
It makes it simple to add all kinds of small extensions to the IDE in a relatively elegant way.

It is not possible to add such features, as built-in features, without adding a lot of clutter to the UI and to the underlying code.

I think, we should make a thread with all the extensions, so members can find them in one place.

The search engine is the key: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=comment+links

The three lines from post#3 are already in the B4XPages Cross-platform projects booklet for the next edition.
It would be interesting to add those in the default B4XPages template.
