Description Räuber Mank 2025-04-14 12:10:23 UTC 
SUMMARY
Placeholders (%f, %d, %n) in run commands of build targets do not get substituted like in build commands.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Activate build plugin
2. Open the tool view for build
3. Create a target
4. Add a run command with placeholders (e.g. python %f)
5. Run the target

OBSERVED RESULT
Placeholders %f, %d and %n do not get substituted with the current file path, working directory or filename, respectively.

EXPECTED RESULT
Placeholders in run commands should be replaced like in build commands.

Comment 1 Christoph Cullmann 2025-05-30 19:16:32 UTC 
True, I guess best would be to expand that at the same place to avoid that happens on the fly on completion, when one might have switched the document.

Patches welcome :)
