SlickEdit® / Re: Building Ada from SE

« Last post by Clark on Today at 03:58:43 pm »

Looks like the gnat tool chain changed. Makes this project template pretty useless.

We will look into this and see if we can make a project template that works. I can't say if we will get this done in time for the v23 release without knowing the difficulty level.

Features and/or Improvements / Re: allow forking a buffer

« Last post by Dennis on Today at 02:15:59 pm »

This won't give you the fork in a temp buffer, but in this scenario, I generally use File > Save Copy As... and put it in a temp directory.

You could easily record a fork() macro.  Select all, copy, open temp file, paste

SlickEdit® / Trying to open multiple files per window

« Last post by jeff.campbell on Today at 01:01:21 pm »

Hello,

I recently upgraded to 2017 Pro, and lost a bunch of settings and preferences. Most importantly, I've lost the ability to have multiple files open in a window.  Opening a file now replaces the one I have open instead of opening a second file tab.

Under Editing -> Editor Windows, I've set "Files per window" to "Multiple files share window."  What else am I missing to have multiple files open at a time?

SlickEdit 2018 v23 Beta Discussion / Re: Segmentation Fault when adding Git repo on Repository Browser

« Last post by at5dapa1 on Today at 06:45:03 am »

Crashes just as soon as you launch it?

Not immediately. I did attached a word document with pictures to the mentioned case but here are the steps too + 1 picture if it helps:
 - I have the project open (an own-maintained makefile project), I select menu Tools -> Version Control -> Browse repository
 - I get a warning that I don’t have a repo setup for the current file’s path and if I want to add it to the repo list
 - I select yes and the repo browser opens, but then crashes in 5s

SlickEdit® / Re: Modify Parameter list not wholly intuitive

« Last post by rgloden on Today at 03:32:24 am »

Maybe I missed it but in Windows version of SE 2017 I didn't find Alt+` documented in the Help->"Keys Help" page.  And search only found Ctrl+` in the Eclipse Emulation section of the page.

Features and/or Improvements / allow forking a buffer

« Last post by jporkkahtc on Today at 12:34:26 am »

I'd like to fork() a buffer: The result is the current buffer is unmodified, but an exact copy is created as an unnamed buffer.

The new buffer should have identical undo/redo history.

Usage:
    Open a file, make a lot of edits.
    Regret: Oh, what have I done? I'd like to see the code part way thru my changes for comparison.
    Start hitting undo.
    Very carefully examine the old code
    Hope and prey that I've not trashed the redo buffer
    Hit redo to reapply my changes.

A fork() would basically let me check-point my code without fear of losing undo/redo.

File history is helpful here in some cases, *but* it always trashes undo/redo - very annoying!

SlickEdit® / Cursor shape doesn't change on insert-toggle

« Last post by kenl on September 19, 2018, 08:00:38 pm »

Hello folks,

SlickEdit Pro 2017 (v22.0.0.9) on macOS Version: 10.13.6

Using macOS emulation (but I have tried others as well).  When I toggle insert mode (from insert to replace and back), my cursor shape does not change.  It remains a thin vertical bar, although the actual function does change from insert to replace mode.  The only way I can tell that I have changes modes is by checking the lower right corner indicator ("INS" vs. "REP")

The cursor-shape command returns:
-v 450 1000 750 1000 450 1000 750 1000

I've played a bit with that based on some things I've seen online, but to no effect.

Any ideas or experiments appreciated!

Cheers,
Ken

SlickEdit 2018 v23 Beta Discussion / Re: Fif: Not searching all the files

« Last post by Clark on September 19, 2018, 06:54:33 pm »

Fixed for beta 5. Two problems. The method of counting when handling excluded binary files can cause search output to be lost. There's an extension based optimization cache which has to be disabled when excluding binary files. Otherwise, the matched files can be random since some files of the same extension can be binary and some not. No caching is done for files with no extension so those aren't a problem.
