reg the navigator in slickedit
« on: August 28, 2011, 08:18:07 AM »
hey, i am a rails programmer and i am currently trying slickedit..
i am surprised that this program doesn't have a navigator / project viewer which is very essential in rails..what i mean is where all the files in a project are shown (usually) in the left(text mate calls it gutter or something and net-beans calls project viewer)..
is there a plugin or am i missing something here

SE comes with quite a number of so called 'toolbars'. See 'View>Toolbars>Project Tools' and/or 'Customize' to make your selection. I'd also propose to read the docs concerning the various configuration possibilites e.g. of the 'Projects' toolbar.
Have fun, HS2

Well, you've just given me the kick in the pants to finally get around to adding support for TextMate .tmproj projects. And unlike TextMate, we don't have an automagical "open this directory as a temporary project" feature.
But in the meantime, it's pretty easy to set up. Just go to Project > New, and select Ruby from the project types list. Enter a project name and the location, and click OK. The new project will be created (.vpj file), and you'll be presented with a dialog asking to add your files. Use "add tree" and select the root of your project structure. Be sure that the recursive option is checked.
By default a folder named "Source Files" will be created to hold all your .rb files. But I'm guessing you probably want the full directory structure view. Just highlight the project node in the project tool window, right click, and select "Auto Folder > Directory View" from the context menu.
