IncrediBuild skipping modified files

I'm finding that IncrediBuild is skipping some modified files (so changes that have been made aren't being compiled) - is there any way of forcing everything to be rebuilt ? Would be handy to have a Rebuild All.

Yes I get that too now and then. Just toggle the debug button before you run the compiler and it rebuilds everything. What is more annoying is when you have several big files and it rebuilds everything even though you didn't change anything :-)

I'll toggle the debug button then!

Very strange. Try adding just one character to a comment of that file, and see if the problem is solved, then.
I'm using a CRC32 method to see if it has changed, and sometimes the crc code does not differ.
I'm trying MD5 for next version.

I put in an invalid command (which it did complain about), took it out, and then recompiled - and the file was skipped...!

I think this problem happens with the "focus" and when you lose the "focus"

IE. If you write a line without hitting enter button and the command isnt highlighted immediately.
Sometimes you need to switch the mouse to the jumpmark list and select a random jump, and the command is properly highlight, is the way i work around this.

I think it is because the editor is not working on a dynamic level where it is checking all context formats as you type stuff.
This is not a problem for me, i would rather it not work dynamically, because if the file is huge, it might slow down the type rate for the editor.

the compiler checks, if the file has been changed, by creating a CRC32 sum for it.

So it seems MrTAToad won the CRC lottery.

I presume the fact that all the code is stored in a Linux based NAS (a DNS-323) wouldn't make any difference ?

This happened to me 100 times already, almost every compilation i had to close the IDE. Noticed it on the version 6 as well, it appears that the few first compilation are ok after some time it start missing changed files. So I closed the Ide and compile it again. and on more than one project.

I have the opposite problem, the IDE recompiles big files that I haven't done any changes in the last two months. If you have troubles with missing files, just toggle the debug button and it will recompile the whole project.

Hmm, when i reload a project after a reboot, one which was already compiled, it recompiles all the files anyway. is that normal? (win32)

I also found an issue where i have to copy the contents of a gbas and paste it into a new gbas in a new project, if i want to use the gbas in question. If i try to say, copy and paste a gbas, open it, and try to compile, it asks if i want to start a new project, and i click yes, it adds it to the project, but it will not compile the project at all, no matter what i do...i must copy the contents and paste the contents into a new gbas in a new project altogether.
