There is very good plugin already but it has rather bad name and 
due to that it isn't easily discoverable.

Is the name really that bad? I mean you can find it if you search 
for `dlang` in the editor because it has dlang in the description.

Bad in the sense that you are required to actually do the 
searching ;)

And it breaks the convention used by other language plugins.

So as you can see by the presence of this topic, plugin (which is 
really top notch btw) is easily overlooked

When I made the plugin there was no convention because there were 
only some syntax highlighting packages and maybe 4 or 5 actual 
plugins for anything more than syntax highlighting.

Any idea for a better plugin name? I can easily rename it in the 
marketplace and it will still be installable with `code-d`

The code-d plugin doesn't work on Windows for a very long time 
(months). There is even an issue on github
https://github.com/Pure-D/code-d/issues/38
Do you have any plans of fixing it or is Windows low priority?

It would be nice to fix it but I have no way of testing if it 
actually worked. Everything works here on linux, even if I change 
dcd to use TCP instead of unix domain sockets. I made some minor 
changes to catch some errors, can you recompile workspace-d and 
update code-d and try if it works now?

Oh, I see. I didn't realize you don't have a Windows machine 
available. I'll try to build the newest version when I have the 
time.

Its pretty unfortunate that it doesn't work because VSCode is the 
only editor that has all ticks on this page
https://wiki.dlang.org/Editors
so people new to D are more likely to try VSCode first (like me), 
only wasting time if they are on Windows.

windows hates me too much, these permission issues don't make any 
sense. Why wouldn't dub be able to write the lib file to the 
project directory? Fixing workspace-d-installer is just as 
important as fixing workspace-d for windows. Also the laptop is 
so super slow, I think my Windows VM would be faster. Gonna try 
and fix the issues on there in the next few days.

Maybe you are trying to write to the Program Files folder which 
became unwritable without admin priviledges since approximately 
Windows 7?

Anyway, good luck! I hope you don't give up.

For those who wonder what works on Windows, Eclipse + DDT works 
great for me (specifically Windows 7).

code-d & workspace-d now work on windows. You just need to 
compile workspace-d with LDC but the installer will do that for 
you

Executable files with the text "install" and "setup" in the name, 
require elevation.
And it's very uncomfortable :(
Maybe change the output name from "workspace-d-installer" to 
"workspace-d-builder".

But I think it would be better to fix dmd.

The fact the 'security' feature is done on the name of a file and 
therefore so easily circumvented means it's not a 'security' 
feature at all, and only an annoyance!

If the filename does not contain install or setup there is no 
elevation at all, so nothing is circumvented. As Kagamin noted 
this is to keep legacy installers working in a way that your 
average non-poweruser can use.

If you wish to use these words in your filename without 
elevating, just add a manifest, which you should do anyways ^^

Elevation heuristics is not a security feature indeed, it only 
improves security UX. If an installer runs nonelevated, it will 
fail halfway through, which is bad UX, the solution is to run it 
elevated from the beginning, the system detects the need for 
elevation when the process starts. A proper way to do it is to 
inform the system whether the process needs elevation, it's done 
in a manifest, but old installers don't have manifest, so they 
are detected heuristically.

Yep, already working on implementing that into code-debug (my

I just wanted to post that. It is a real bummer - long standing

one ;)

Apparently didn't try dlang, my fault. Would it be possible to 
add the other search terms? Same point had already been raised in 
a plugin review btw.

Maybe you could also rename the plugin to dlang?

There are about 3 plug-ins for D on Atom, all of which aren't 
exactly spectacular.
They are all missing a few keywords IIRC and/or also fuck up your 
syntax highlighting quite badly with some constructions 
(primarily the ones with parentheses).

VisualD is fine, but some of us don't feel like to install a 
20Gig IDE just to hack some D code.
