I have a python module that contains a set of scripts that I use in my daily work. They have a common version which they get from
the __about__.py file. All these python files are located in the same directory. They are built into an installable module using the hatch build tool.

In order for the scripts to work when they are built and installed, __about__.py needs to be imported like this:
Code: [Select]
from . import __about__.py as ver
For a bunch of python specific reasons the debugger does not like this:
Code: [Select]
    from . import __about__ as ver
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

It works if I change the import to look like this:
Code: [Select]
import __about__.py as ver
But if I build this and try to run it, I get this result:
Code: [Select]
    import __about__ as ver
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '__about__'

Is there a way to make SE automatically run a command (in this case a search/replace) before it starts the debugger? And likewise run another command (another search/replace) after the debugger is exits?

SlickEdit uses the color coding profile name. Make a copy of the "Batch" color coding profile. One named CMD and the other named BAT.

* Go to Tools>Languages>Scripting Languages>Batch>Color Coding
* Click on New...
* Specify new profile name (CMD or BAT)
* Check Copy settings from profile: and pick Batch

SlickEdit® / Adding markdown languages to align with standards

SlickEdit will show me the correct color coding for CMD/BAT script code inside markdown if I call it "Batch":

Code: [Select]
# This is a markdown title

Works in SlickEdit, but not GitHub, VSCode, etc.:

```Batch
REM this is a comment
echo "Hello World %USERNAME%"
```

However, GitHub, VSCode, and other markdown viewers don't honor this.

Similarly, GitHub, VSCode, and other markdown viewers all support "CMD" and "BAT", but SlickEdit does not:

Code: [Select]
# This is a markdown title

Works in GitHub, VCode, and others, but not SlickEdit:

```BAT
REM this is a comment
echo "Hello World %USERNAME%"
```

Works in GitHub, VCode, and others, but not SlickEdit:

```CMD
REM this is a comment
echo "Hello World %USERNAME%"
```

Is there any way I can configure SlickEdit to treat "CMD" or "BAT" the same as "Batch"?

I don't think there is an option for excluding files from being tagged but still be added to the project.

I have been seeing this since I upgraded from Slickedit v27 to Slickedit v30 with hotfix 2. I was hoping someone of the forums had a fix, but I guess not.

Hi there  :)

I want to set up my project to recursively add files as a wildcard to a project, e.g. all *.c files but even though they are added to the project so that I can open and view them, I do not want certain directories to be tagged.

I know there's an option to exclude files or directories from the Wildcard Properties but then they are not added to the project. Also, I have to repeat the exclude pattern for each wildcard, e.g. *.c, *.h, *.cpp, *.hpp, etc.

I am looking for a workspace / project wide option to ignore specific directories from being tagged even though they are added to the project.

Thanks in advance,
Pieter

Deleting *.vpwhist* kind of works (still occurs on a project or two)...

but it is tedious when I have 15+ workspaces.

Deleting vrestore.xml is not a good idea since you lose your configured panes, toolbars, buttons, etc.

I don't see vrestore.slk so I don't know what happens when you delete this.

Also does it when opening a different workspace.
