Local Apache

Homme, James — 2012-05-23T15:37:26

Hi,
Is this the command that will cause a file to use an instance of Apache locally on Windows?
command.go.$(file.patterns.web)="http://localhost/$(FileNameExt)"

Thanks.

Basic SciTe Help

Homme, James — 2012-05-18T14:21:36

Hi,
I apologize in advance for not always making connections unless they are explained in many words. The version of SciTe I have is the one from AutoItscript.com/. AutoIt runs on Windows, in case what I'm talking about has anything to do with this. But I don't know if what I'm asking has to do with this fact.

I was trying to set up abbreviations that would help me write t2t files. As I was looking through the various properties files and trying to trace what would happen when I worked on a t2t file, I saw that the global properties file has a lot of import lines in it for various languages, and none of them end with ".properties." I'm assuming from this that SciTe somehow knows that it should add this extension. Is this right?

Next Question. When I save or open a file and give it a t2t extension, is that when SciTe understands that it should use my t2t.properties file?

Next question. Should I create an import line in my t2t.properties file for t2t.abbreviations.properties?

Next question. Does all of this mean that my t2t.properties file only acts on t2t files, if t2t.properties is in use?

Thanks for your patience.

Jim

What rerequirement am I missing?

Mac App Store reviews

Neil Hodgson — 2012-05-06T10:45:29

   I'd like to encourage those who have purchased the OS X version of SciTE to post ratings and reviews on the App Store. That includes negative reviews and low ratings if you have been disappointed. Its important that potential customers get a realistic view of the application before paying for it.

   If the App Store provided support for preview downloads than that would help a lot. I've been expecting such a feature but it hasn't arrived yet.

Shbang not detected after loading session and switching tab

Martin Panter — 2012-05-02T13:18:42

Hi

This issue has been bugging me for a while. It was happening in 3.0.2
and 3.0.3 Arch Linux packages and still in a 3.1.0 package I compiled
myself, but I think it may be a regression because I’m pretty sure it
used to work better.

I have Scite set up to automatically load the previous tabs (session)
when it starts. When it has loaded the tabs, the initial selected tab
is a file with an extension that selects the syntax highlighting (e.g.
SciTEIO.cxx). When I change to a tab that is meant to be using a
shebang to select the syntax highlighting language (e.g. filename
"filefs" beginning with "#! /usr/bin/env python2"; I have set up
shbang.python2=py), there is no highlighting. However opening the file
manually rather than via session loading automatically selects Python
highlighting, and it also works if the shebang file is initially
selected when Scite loads (rather than switching tabs).

I did a bit of digging and came up with the attached stab-in-the-dark
change which seems to fix the issue for me. There is a "language"
variable which was still holding its value (e.g. "cpp") from the
previous tab when SciTEBase::CompleteOpen() is invoked, which means
that it doesn’t bother calling DiscoverLanguage() to read the shebang
line. It looks like "language" is meant to be initialised in the
ReadProperties() function, so I just moved the call up so
ReadProperties() gets called before DiscoverLanguage().

The code is a bit too complicated for me to say, without spending ages
studying it, if it’s a good fix and doesn’t break anything. I would
appreciate if someone with more knowledge of the code could take a
look at this issue and merge my fix or find a better one.

Thanks
Martin

Scite Scintilla window updates bad on gtk3

zetah — 2012-04-30T16:09:58

When scrolling with mouse (either fast or slow, it doesn't matter) editor 
window blinks for relatively long periods. It flickers too much.
Is there any workaround for this behaviour.

BTW, FYI (gtk-vector-screenshot) 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+package/gtk-vector-screenshot doesn't 
work with SciTE (gtk3) even more it freezes the app. I tried it with other 
applications without issue so far

Also I'd like to know if status of gtk3 can be described as experimental 
and preferred way of compiling SciTE would be without using gtk3 switch?

Spell Check In Windows

Homme, James — 2012-04-30T14:30:44

Hi,
Is there some way to spell check documents within SciTe on Windows? This would obviate the need to dump the document into Word, and get it back into SCite.

Thanks.

Alternative for Win+select?

zetah — 2012-04-29T00:58:59

On Ubuntu 12.04 when user presses Win key, window shows with Ubuntu 
keyboard shortcuts making the key more unusable then it was before
Coupling with Ctrl is solution, but then multiple selection feature can't 
be accessed

Please consider other option then Win key, maybe allow user to set key 
combination like Ctrl+Alt or similar

Bug with mouse scroll up

zetah — 2012-04-29T00:55:05

On Ubuntu 12.04 and SciTE compiled with gtk3 flag:

Mouse scroll-down behaves as expected - scrolls text window down, but mouse 
scroll-up scrolls tiny step up then down in a loop, and it's not possible 
to scroll text up with mouse scroll

regain focus after Go Sumatra

kitz — 2012-04-28T20:28:30

Hello. Scite noob here. Win7.

To process and view latex file I have put in tex.properties:

command.build.$(file.patterns.latex)=pdflatex -synctex=-1 $(FileNameExt)
command.go.$(file.patterns.latex)=sumatrapdf -o -reuse-instance $(FileName).pdf

which builds latex file (MiKTeX) and opens pdf in Sumatra. But then I cannot get back to Scite to make changes to source file and re-build without Ctr+Break for the viewer process. After Ctrl+Break the message is:


All works fine from cmd line, that is, process pdflatex file written in Scite, open in Sumatra, then change in Scite, process from cmd line and Sumatra updates.

Thanks for any hints.

editor:UserListShow() dialog too condensed on gtk3

R and Scite-Mac OSX

Chris — 2012-04-26T13:12:20

Hi,
I recently purchased Scite-Mac OSX to use with R. But to my chagrin
there was no R syntax file enabled by default. I believe I can enable
this. After a little googling, I found that if I enable R||R||\ in
SciteGlobal.Properties that this might do it. However, apparently I
can't save that file after making changes to it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am completely new to Scite
and want to use it for R and LaTeX. Also, does anyone know if you get
free upgrades for Scite-Mac OSX?

SciTE 3.1.0 released

Neil Hodgson — 2012-04-20T00:22:35

SciTE 3.1.0 is now available from the scintilla.org web site.

SciTE 3.1.0 is a minor feature release on Windows and GTK+ but a major release on OS X.

User strips can define buttons as default. Find and replace histories can be saved in sessions. '\0' is translated to the whole match when replacing using regular expressions.

On Windows when using Direct2D for on-screen drawing, printing switches to GDI as Direct2D does not support printing and there were crashes.

Other changes were made and bugs fixed. A detailed list of changes is available on the history page.
http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaHistory.html

The commercial version on OS X will be a major release as it is the first version to be sandboxed. Sandboxing limits the actions that an application can perform to protect the user from exploits. SciTE 3.1.0 has an Allow Access dialog so the user can specify which paths SciTE may access. This is documented at http://scintilla.org/Sandbox.html
Before installing 3.1.0 on OS X, it may be an idea to back up your copy of 3.0.4 in case there are problems with the sandbox. It normally takes a few days for Apple to check a release and make it appear on the App Store, but this release may take longer.

SciTE uses Mercurial (Hg) for source code control. The repositories can be cloned with
hg clone http://scintilla.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/scintilla/scintilla
hg clone http://scintilla.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/scintilla/scite

Thanks to the contributors of code and documentation and to the testers.

achieved target Windows GTK+

Kimon Kontosis — 2012-04-17T22:29:38

Hello,
I am writing a small cross-platform C++ program that is based on
SciTE, basically it is a text editor with a few extra dialogs.
My idea was to make the code portable from the start so I won't have
to create the dialogs that i need twice (for windows and for unixes).
So my best option was to compile SciTE for GTK+ in both linux and in
windows (using mingw32), which I did.

I was wondering if it would be useful to add this option (wingtk) for
SciTE.
The way I have done this doesn't involve much overhead, e.g. mostly
#ifdefs and no code duplication etc.
It is only draft for the time being.
Please tell me if you think this would be interesting. I believe that
I should wait anyway since I read the last mail on the list.
Thanks and greetings, since I'm a new member on this list.

With kind regards,
Kimon Kontosis

Bug in SetSel() on UTF-8 string

zetah — 2012-04-11T02:13:02

Screenshot from "editor:SetSel(10, 20)": http://i.imgur.com/U6RAq.png

Seems like problem is with mixed string, in this case empty space is single 
byte and selection can't "cut" last character on half.
If "editor:SetSel(10, 21)" is used, then selection ends correctly

I don't know if this is issue just on Linux, but I would expect 
SciTE/Scintilla to work on UTF-8 chars the same as with Ascii chars

How to position indicator on specific line?

zetah — 2012-04-09T04:07:23

From SciTELua.api, looks like every positioning available is done by column 
number and only one command can change current line - GotoLine(), so:

        editor.IndicatorCurrent = 2
    local d={1,2,3,4}
    for k, v in ipairs(d) do
        editor:GotoLine(v)
        editor:IndicatorFillRange(v,v)
    end

results on overwritten indicators only on line 1

How does this work? How can I draw indicator on Line 3 at position 5 with 
length 10?

Hunspell interface for SciTE under Linux

zetah — 2012-04-08T00:36:13

I wanted to add spell-checking to SciTE somehow

   1. I first found obvious result: luahunspell<http://code.google.com/p/luahunspell/>which works on Windows. Could it work on Linux by wrapping this tiny 
   luahunspell.cpp<http://code.google.com/p/luahunspell/source/browse/hunspell/src/lua/luahunspell.cpp>file around Hunspell and SciTE source is impossible task for me as I don't 
   know C
   2. I then found luaspell on GitHub, and additionally luascript<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21msg/textadept/a_F99FrMBL0/Vj_LimQtiSgJ>for TextAdept (Scintilla based editor) but it's not very obvious how to 
   "port" it to SciTE
   3. I found scite+hunspell <http://sourceforge.net/projects/scihun/>project on SourceForge, and huge patch for SciTE 2.01 which I managed to 
   apply on current hg version, with one issue: changes in respect to class 
   Accessor makes it hard to figure what next:

  ../src/HunspellWrapper.h:62:56: error: ‘Accessor’ has not been declared
  make: *** [SciTEGTK.o] Error 1

which points to:

  virtual bool OnStyle(unsigned int p, int q, int r, Accessor *s);

Accessor.h was moved from ./scintilla/include/ to ./scintilla/lexlib/ and 
if I include it in makefile it doesn't solve the problem, so I stopped here.

Can someone help make working spell-checker under Linux by any project 
available?

Thanks

Sandboxing on OS X

Neil Hodgson — 2012-04-03T12:53:02

   Apple plans to require apps distributed through the Mac App Store
to be sandboxed starting from June 1. I have written some
documentation about how I expect it to work with SciTE and the new
Allow Access dialog added so that SciTE for OS X can remain useful.
http://scintilla.org/Sandbox.html

   While this doesn't affect the other platforms yet, I expect to see
sandboxes slowly take over the world. Metro apps on Windows 8 will be
sandboxed although Windows 8 still contains a non-sandboxed desktop
mode. I don't currently plan to implement SciTE for Metro as it would
require the user interface to be completely rewritten.

Allow language tools by changing language synthax

zetah — 2012-04-01T20:22:33

I like to suggest that in case user selects language syntax from Language 
menu, then allow using tools defined in that language properties files 
automatically

If for some reason this is not accepted then please consider further this:

I have opened file without extension which is recognised by shebang, and 
yet don't have access to any tool defined in that language properties file, 
so if I want to use specific tools, I have to rename the file
