GTP Modified Files Manager

The GTP MODIFIED FILES MANAGER Addon scans local files (on server) in search of a phrase/characters.
If an instance is found the file is listed.

If used correctly this addon WILL DECREASE work load.

For example, if you wrap all your modifications you can now make a list of all your modified files and print the list to use when upgrading. You can also use GTP MODIFIED FILES MANAGER Addon when creating your own addon. For example, you can create a list of all files that have been modified to create your INSTRUCTIONS.

Tip
[hr=blue]4[/hr]
When adding or modifying your files you should always comment the area that you are modifying.
And, I don't mean just a "// this has been modified" comment. That will take ages if you visually scan a page. (LOL, maybe not ages but it will definitely increase work load.)

Some of these files are large and you could have multiple instances of modifications. So I recommend that you "wrap" your modifications with the following (or something similar):

// ================================================= \\
// == [ MODIFIED - GTP ]
modified code 
// == [ 00-00-2004 - GTP END ]
// ================================================= \\

The key here is to have a beginning and ending "wrap".

In this manner, you can search for "GTP" (or whatever you choose) with the GTP MODIFIED FILES MANAGER Addon; and, you can visually scan the file for any modifications.

Wrapping the code will give you an indication that modification started and ended here.

I thought this was going to be a feature in 3.5?

[Princeton]

well, we really don't know what will be available until it comes out ... all they have shown so far is a little here and a little there.

Plus, the GOLD version won't be release until the Fall or Winter Season (if we are lucky). It really depends on how many bugs are found in the beta when released.

Truly is a nice idea.
