digitalmars.D.announce - eDitor 0.2 released

reply Thomas Brix Larsen <brix brix-verden.dk> writes:
eDitor is an IDE designed especially for D, though it also has some support
for some other languages (C,C++,Java,XML,...).

It has full support for D's current syntax, and support for using an
external tool (like build/rebuild) for building your project.

Screenshot: http://brix-verden.dk/d/eDitor/eDitor-0.2.png

Platform support: 32bit linux (glibc 2.4), 64bit linux (glibc 2.4), and
32bit windows. It requires QT 3.3 on linux, the QT dll for windows is
supplied in the tarball.

Download: http://brix-verden.dk/d/eDitor/eDitor-0.2.tar.bz2

Note:
The project support on windows is still work in progress, the consequence is
that you can't move a project without losing your project settings. This
will be fixed in version 0.3.

Looks pretty good.  One thing I need before finding it useful 
is an adjustable tab width.

If you want to add languages besides D, could I suggest Python 
and Ruby?  I'd put that rather low on the order of priorities, 
but Python and Ruby complement D rather than competing with it.

I think once you've already got D support, rudimentary support for C, 
C++ and Java is probably easier to implement than any support for 
languages with a completely different syntax. That's probably the reason 
he went for those first.

I'm actually using a modified qscintilla, so it also has support for other
languages. Ruby and python are already somewhat supported in the program.
Also somewhat supported are: Javascript, Perl, Lua, HTML, Diff/patch, SQL,
LyX and TeX. These are mostly lacking colors matching the primary
languages.

This is a bugfix release for the linux version. Windows users won't gain
anything from upgrading.

Changes:
* The binaries have been recompiled using the apbuild package from the 
autopackage project (http://autopackage.org). eDitor should now work across
multiple glibc versions.
* The shell script for selecting the right binary (32bit/64bit), has been
changed to use /bin/bash, instead of /bin/sh.
* .patch files is now *really* supported in the "open file dialog".

It would be nice if you'd set up an eDitor page we could link to. For 
one, we should try to keep D-related projects in the search engine loop. 
Walter is always asking maintainers of projects like this to slap 
together a page with "D Programming Language" in the keywords list and 
somewhere on the page. It helps to increase D's visibility.

On a personal note, I tend not to post on my D blog about projects that 
don't have a proper web page set up. I'm not saying that you should 
develop your project around my blogging habits! But I do have regular 
subscribers who don't follow the NGs. I also regularly get hits from 
D-related searches. So it's another avenue of exposure.

* The "project view" is now also displaying python, ruby, and lua source
files.
* Full project support under Windows.
* XML syntax highlight improved a lot.
* Python syntax highlight colors now look more like the D style.

Bugfixes:
* Patch files (.patch) is now recognized on both platforms.
* "Project view", same file could be opened many times, over multiple tabs.
* Text files with international characters opened though the "project view"
could make eDitor crash.
* If creating or loading more than one project, files would be shown
multiple times in "project view" and "fs view".

Supported languages as of 0.3:
D, C, C++, Java, Python, XML, XHTML, HTML, Lua, Perl, Ruby, SQL, Javascript,
diff/patch, TeX/LyX.

Escape doesn't work for me. Neither does tab, space, enter, or the arrow keys.
The
only that I can proceed is to click in another window and then come back to the
eDitor window. When the eDitor window loses focus, the auto-complete box is
hidden, but it returns the next time I type a letter in the word it thinks I'm
trying to complete.

Thanks for turning off the autocompletion for the Windows build. Now I can use
the
program on my computer.

Were you able to see the buggy behavior on a machine yourself? (Or was I the
only
one who was having a problem?)

By the way, I'm really looking forward to when you get the "Outline" tab

Yes, I saw it for myself in Windows, but I normally only use Linux, so I
hadn't noticed it before.
