[ current issue ]
It has been some weeks and the SlickEdit website still has not registered a product with the serial number that I supplied. Cannot obtain SlickEdit 2007 without it.
[ real issue ]
My Slickedit configuration informs me when there are patches or upgrades made available on a daily basis.
CAS-15165 was filed on January 9, 2006. The last correspondence received from SlickEdit was that the problem could not be reproduced and the case froze since then. I thought a couple of pictures and a detailed walkthrough would have been easy to spot but it did not turn out that way.
I'm reminded daily that every time I create or open a new instance of a new workspace that all the bookmarks that I made will be lost. Debugging, deadlisting, and multitasking work across several releases on top of daily development really causes me to lose track of all the earmarked pieces of code that I want to review at a later time. Typically I go through about 10 to 30 workspaces a day, sometimes more, depending on the amount of customer issues on their particular setup.
I created a simple perl script to create a new default workspace files (.vpw) to add a subset of all the files from any particular build. Other than this, the final command gives a new/unique configuration location and a new/unique restore location like so:
vs.exe +new -sc $new_config_path\\config -sr $new_restore_path $new_workspace_path\\services.vpw
The bookmarks are lost upon closing the new workspace. This test can be done manually and has been 100% repeatable in SlickEdit v10 and v11.
The maintenance releases give some hope that the issue would be fixed, but my luck seems to be running low. Would anyone be able to look into this problem again? Or if anyone else has a suggestion I'm all ears.
