Crash when attempting to retag my project when no workspace loaded

[rowbearto]

I have my SE configured to open without reopening the last workspace - it helps to get it to start quickly in case any network files were open.

Well sometimes I forget there is no workspace there, and I tried to find references to a member variable in a .h file and didn't see all the references I was expecting.

So I attempted to retag my project, and SE crashed. I think it crashed because I did not have a workspace loaded.

I think it could be useful to "idiot proof" this situation - if a user tries to retag and no workspace or project loaded, let the user know, and don't crash SE.

Can you reproduce this?  How did you retag the project?  When I go to the Tag Files dialog in this situation, I don't get a workspace tag file.

[rowbearto]

I did it from the pull down menus:

Project->Retag Workspace and Project->Retag Project

[rowbearto]

Yes, I can reproduce it.

The "Retag Project" menu item is not grayed out when no workspace is loaded, but the "Retag Workspace" menu item is grayed out.

I think "Retag Project" should be grayed out when no workspace is loaded.

I think it should be grayed out.  I'm still not getting the crash, I get a message box about it not being found.

It crashes consistently on my side. But if you grey it out, then it will prevent me from doing this, and make me realize I need to load my workspace. Thanks!

On a related note, sometimes when I have no workspace loaded, but don't realize it, I may do a cross reference search (highlight a variable name, then press Ctrl+/).

Then, I only see a few of the references (mostly in the same file), but not all the references I am expecting (such as in other files not loaded into SE at the time).

If you could provide a warning that no workspace/project is loaded if cross-reference search is attempted when workspace/project is not loaded, it could be useful to me.

It crashes consistently on my side. But if you grey it out, then it will prevent me from doing this, and make me realize I need to load my workspace. Thanks!

Done for next drop.

Fixed the crash bug.

On the note about warning when the workspace is not open, the problem is that this would be a pretty annoying nag message for people who work on single file shell scripts or perl scripts, or other things that do not require a project.

This is one of the things I like about symbol coloring, it makes it pretty obvious when the current file isn't part of the current workspace.
