hook into filesave?

Hi

Is there any way to hook a plugin function to run every time a file is saved?

Currently when using the EzCTags plugin (incredibly useful, by the way) one must manually rerun ctags over the entire project, which (on large projects) takes a long time and requires user intervention. It would be really nice to be able to run an incremental update for each file as it's saved.

I suppose I could override the ctrl-s key (does that even work?) but if the user clicked "save" from the toolbar or file menu it would end up out of synch.

Thanks!

There is possibility to use FileType plugin. This plugin will be used each time you open file and save file.
It's a DLL with 3 exported functions

See the PSPad help / Customize PSPad / Script / FileType plug-ins

Yikes! That seems like sledgehammer/nut territory, but I suppose if that's the only way to make it work it will have to do.

Do you have an example project to create a dll that simply saves the file in the same way as pspad would do? Save me having to write the whole thing again

Edit: I suppose I could return an error for PSP_LoadFromFile and PSP_SaveToFile - as per doc "function returns false ... PSPad internal file handling is used" - except then I would have rerun the ctags command _before_ the save occurred (unless I did something clever with scheduling, which isn't particularly pretty).

Thanks

I went for this method.

I would still prefer it if we could hook some script into a "post-save" action, but I'll live with this rather than have to create 10 DLL files along with the level of extra errors that could ensue.
