image path

Mark Sherrill — 2012-05-23T18:52:59

Hello all,

I'm new to bluefish. I'm having a hard time getting images to load. I'm
sure that it's I have the wrong path, but I'm not sure what's wrong.  I
have a folder A that contains an images folder and a BFProj folder. The
Project folder has  two files, index.html and style.css.

In the style.css folder  I have the following as a path for a background
image and it's not rendering. Is there something I need to do when placing
my files into a project?

body {
background: url(images/img01.jpg) repeat;
}


Thanks so much for your assistance. I'm really liking bluefish so far.

Selection color

Dean Harding — 2012-05-19T07:09:13

Hi all,

Loving Bluefish, but one problem that I can't seem to figure out is
the color of selected text is black-on-white, which makes the
selection really hard to see.

You can see what I mean in these two screenshots:
http://i.imgur.com/hXWT2.png and http://i.imgur.com/Yl0QS.png (I drew
the red lines so you can see where I've selected the text)

Is there a way to change this to the more usual
white-text-blue-background or something? Or is there just something
weird about my environment (I'm running Xubuntu 12.04, but maybe
something I've customized somewhere... Bluefish is the only editor on
my system that has this problem, that I've run into, so I don't think
it's a global customization I've made)

Another less pressing question is, is there a way to turn on "Visible
Spacing" on for all documents? I can use Document -> Show Visible
Spacing once I've opened a file, but I'd prefer to have it on all the
time.

Dean.

css3

P .NIKOLIC — 2012-05-15T13:27:55

Hi ..

are there plans to include the newer CSS3 in bluefish   as there seem
to be quite a few bits in css3 not understood right now .

Find and replace

R Kimber — 2012-05-15T12:12:29

If I try to do a 'find and replace' with scope set for a selection and
nothing is selected, I get an appropriate error.  If I then change the scope
to the active document and retry the find and replace it doesn't work even
if the find string is present in the document.  The only way to get it to
work is to close the window and retart it and change the scope before
activating the replace. is it possible to have it do a new find/replace
with a new scope by just changing the scope and pressing replace?
- In other words, I think that 'replace' should act on whatever settings
are visible in the current window.

removing fifo support from external commands

Olivier Sessink — 2012-05-07T12:34:13

Hi all,

I'm planning to remove the support for fifo's from the external commands /
filters and outputbox.

All programs that can work with a fifo also work with a temporary file
(which is slightly less efficient), but the fifo code is buggy and hard to
get right.

For high performance: most programs support input and output over pipes as
well, which again is much more efficient than a fifo.

Does anyone have a reason why we should *not* remove support for fifo's ?

Spell Checker stuck on

Paul Bolger — 2012-05-02T23:27:23

I have a project which consists of a whole bunch of php files. For
each one I've disabled the spell checker and I've also turned it off
in the main preferences. When I reopen the project the spell checker
has reenabled itself for all the files in the project. Is there some
way to stop this happening? Spell check isn't really appropriate for
php files at all.

highlighting of text not happening for CFML

Wayne Gregori — 2012-04-22T18:05:55

I'm new to Bluefish and I'm having a hard time getting it to recognize that
I'm using CFML language... I've opened a .cfm file and I have chosen
Document->Language Mode->CFML but there is no highlighting of either the
html or the CFML code.

Any tips would be much appreciated.... bluefish appears to be a great html
editor and I'm looking forward to learning and using it.

Thanks,
Wayne

Can't expand directory tree

R Kimber — 2012-04-11T11:49:49

I'm using revision 7365

In the left hand panel, I find I can't open some subdirectories of the main
directories.  Clicking on the sub-directories just collapses the tree back
to the main directory.

As I've just reconfigured my PC and installed a new version of the OS (Mint
12 (Gnome+MATE), rather than Ubuntu) I suspect the problem has to do with
that. Is there any way that Bluefish files could have been corrupted to
produce this effect, and if so what might the solution be?

Or is it likely that it's a system problem?  libgtk2.0 is ver 2.24.6

Or could there be a Bluefish bug?

Does Bluefish have?

Scott — 2012-04-10T16:24:19

Hi,

      I have started using bluefish for my PHP web development again and 
noticed some nice new features since the last time I used it.  I was 
just wondering if Bluefish haves the following and, if it does, how to 
use them?  If not I will probably send in a wish list for them if not 
already done.

1: Fold all at start, or, even better, fold all documentation on start.

2: Check syntax while typing.  I am pretty sure Bluefish does not have 
this, but I thought I would ask just in case.

3: Code folding for all brackets so that things like FOR loops will be 
folded.

test bluefish-users

Hi all,

the bluefish-users list was unavailable the last few days, but that 
should have been fixed by now.

GTK Preferences dialog window bottom below Windows taskbar

john s wolter — 2012-04-04T17:37:08

The GTK Preferences dialog window bottom below Windows taskbar.  The upper
85% is visible and I move the window up with the mouse.  I've tried to open
that dialog then move to a completely visible location then close the
window and BlueFish.  I was hoping it would save the position but that did
not work.

Is there an adjustment within GTK's configuration file(s) or BlueFish that
would adjust its opening size and postion?

Display zoom in/out

john s wolter — 2012-04-04T16:54:22

I found the hidden zoom feature of using the [Ctrl-Mouse-Wheel} to zoom the
fonts.  Additionally, it would be nice to have a shortcut-key sequence
assigned for display font zoom in or out.  I would suggest using the well
known browser key combinations [Ctrl-+] for zoom-in and [Ctrl--] for
zoom-out.

Disable folding and spellcheck

Lee Gold — 2012-03-23T16:52:00

Hi,

How do i disable folding? I must be missing something obvious...

There's the boxes in the margin with a plus which do the folding. I
don't want to see those boxes, I want to toggle all folding off. How?

Also my code has red squiggly underlines all over because I assume a
spell check is on - it's very distracting. How to I turn that off? I
guess I'm not see a toggle button..

Thank you.

Mac OS X: Shift Select Up-arrow "deletes" lines

Malcolm Fitzgerald — 2012-03-22T05:40:22

Not really but it looks odd.

When I use Shift-arrow Left|Right|Down the selected text appears as white text on a blue background.

When I use Shift-arrow Up the problems occur. 

For example, my position is Ln: 133, Col: 29, Char: 4791. I hold down the shift key and press the up arrow. My position is reported as Ln: 132, Col: 29, Char: 4750. All the selected text is white on blue. 

Now the fun starts. I hold down the shift key and press the up arrow again. My position is Ln: 131, Col 29, Char 4692. The selection appears correct on line 131 and line 133. Line 132 is blank. Each time I press the up arrow the top line and bottom line display the selection correctly. All other lines in between are blank.

What is the intended use for Snippets - Newbie

sjw user — 2012-03-16T17:30:02

Hi,

I'm trying out Bluefish and really like it so far but am lost on a couple
things. For HTML editing I'm accustomed to using the Oxygen XML editor, but
I was looking for something like a "templating" feature - so for instance
you can create the website navigation (menu) in one file, and "include"
this block of HTML on every webpage. I am NOT looking for WYSIWYG. I want
to be able to change the navigation in one place so that it automatically
updates the navigation on every file (page) of the website, a huge help
with maintenance on large websites.

I'm a total newbie and maybe using the wrong search terms, but I can't
anything on "includes" and I don't understand whether Snippets are used for
this purpose or not. Are there instructions anywhere for rank beginners on
Bluefish? Also, am I looking for something that Bluefish does not do?

I'm running Bluefish version 2.2.1 on Lion 10.7.3.

I'd appreciate any help, or if anyone could direct me to a good explanation
source that would be great.

Thank you,
Susan

Bluefish questions on the Mac version

Christopher David Desjardins — 2012-03-04T18:37:36

Hi, 
First, I am very happy to see that Bluefish can be installed as a binary on Mac. Thanks! I have a couple of problems, however. Here they are and maybe you guys can help me fix them!

1) There appears to be no GTK theme and/or Bluefish doesn't seem to use the Mac theme. That's fine but I am curious if this is a bug? It looks like the old Windows theme or the theme I would get in KDE if I didn't install a GTK theme. Are there GTK themes I can install?

Now the more important ones.
2) Bluefish refuses to reopen in full screen even though I've told it that's how I want it in the preferences. i.e. I say restore the last dimensions. 

3) Bluefish doesn't associate .R or .r files with R syntax. So I have to manually go into Documents -> Language Mode -> R and set it every time. It just says Text, UTF-8. Additionally, it forgets this association and I have to do this every time I start Bluefish. Kind of a pain … Maybe it has an easy fix? I hope so. This doesn't happen with C documents. So I am guessing it's something R specific.

4) Bluefish doesn't remember the recent documents I had open. Again a pain but the real PITA I think is #3.

5) It doesn't seem to always remember my preferences when I save them. 

Thanks for the great editor!
Chris

Unexpected behaviour?

Richard Dunne — 2012-02-20T11:59:43

Just starting using the Bluefish editor 2.2.  In creating a style, when
selecting the "color" property, then the Color button, the Select Color
window opens behind the Cascading Style Sheet Builder window.  Should it
not open in front?
Another behaviour I noticed.  When selecting a CSS Property its values
appear in the Values dropdown list.  When selecting another property, its
values appear in the dropdown list as well as those of the previously
selected property.  I would have thought only those values associated with
the currently select property should appear in the Values dropdown list.
