Can we have Uncrustifier uncrustify selected files/folders in Project Navigator?

[foehammer88]

For instance, if you select multiple files or groups in Project Navigator and select an option in the Uncrustifier menu bar option "Format Selected Files".

Selecting a top level group and hitting "Format Selected Files" would format all nested files recursively.

Thanks.

Hey @foehammer88 — unfortunately the Xcode SourceEditor API only gives access to the current file's text. Would you be interested in doing this from the separate application (as described in #16) ?

@harquail, Yeah, performing the uncrustify action recursively from the Uncrustifier.app on a remembered directory (so I don't need to select a directory every time I want to run an Uncrustify), would work for me. Essentially, I would like to run uncrustify on all my Obj-C files in my project.

To optimize the action of uncrustifing the directory and sub-directories, you could have an option in the Uncrustifier.app GUI to run uncrustify only on Modified or Added files determined by their containing local git repository.

Cool. It probably makes sense to tackle this in two stages. First formatting all *.m and *.h files in a folder, then later optimizing to only format only changed files (tracking through git, modification dates, or some other system).

@foehammer88 If you want to take a stab at implementing the first part, we would welcome a PR :). Otherwise, we'll get to this eventually when we have time.

Hey @harquail, thanks, that makes sense. I think that is a good plan of action.

I would like to take a stab at it, unfortunately I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment, so it would probably be best to plan this out for your future sprints. However, if I do find some time in the near future, I can try to implement this, but don't hold your breath.

Thanks for intending to implement this feature, as it would greatly save me (and probably others) time!
