Custom file name in relative build paths (Feature request) #5

Feature request

I've started a new project where we are multiple developers using sublime for development pushing and pulling QDF container releases from GIT.

Our qvw (qvf) files are build up of multiple qvs-files that we include in the script. On top of each qvs file we add the absolute build path.

//#!c:\Dev\Veglar\1.MyContainer\1.Application\TheApplication.qvw   

The full path causes trouble when committing , hence each developer have its own development path each developer needs to change the path every time another developer have committed code to the master repoitory,

//#!..\..\1.Application\

To use relative path the qlikview-application need to be named as the same as the qvs which will not be the case when we are including multiple qvs-files into the same application.

I would love to see an extensioin to the relative buld path to even accept custom qvw-file names.

//#!..\..\1.Application\TheApplication.qvw   

PS: Did you see that Qlik mentioned InQlik tools in their Qlik IDE Development environment document

Hi Vegar.

I'll look at this as soon as possible, but currently I and my team use different version of InQlik tools, not yet released. It use external command-line tool for many tasks, including reloading and opening QV apps. So I have to consolidate that release firstly, then I will be ready for that fieature request. P.S. Qlik sent me a message about that doc. I'm mightily flattered :)

Hi Vegar. I've relased fresh version of plugin and now I believe your scenario is covered. But you have to switch new qv_script_use_cli parameter to true to activate new mechanism. In future I think it would be activated by default but I prefer to check it some more time.

So recommended steps:
