Many thanks
Getting a Puppy Package Manager dialog box saying:
Code: Select all
Error, package nicoedit.pet failed to install
How are others doing?
Barry just announced the latest Nicoedit will be in 4.3
Moe: This deep fryer can flash fry a buffalo in 30 seconds.
Homer: Oh, but I want it now!

still doesn't have tabs when you drop a file on the gui, well soon I hope it might
then I'll be able to replace Geany with it, but without tabs I just can't justify the removal of Geany.

# nicoedit

Segmentation fault

Hi,
I have no problem with fullscreen.
Can you go to NicoEdit source directory, open the file wscript_build and replace the line 11 by this:
Code: Select all
ccflags = ['-g', '-include', 'config.h'],
Save, rebuild (./waf configure && ./waf build) and install (./waf install).
Then, in a terminal, type:
When you enter on the debugger, type:
Try to use the fullscreen, and post the debugger message here.
Thank you,
Nicolas.

Maybe smaller button icons (so more can be displayed)
indent and outdent buttons
change case
this may be of interest

Pleassssseeeeeeeeeee Tabs with close buttons like Geany
That would be great
The only other feature I sometimes use is two panes to compare code side by side.
But tabs by far would be the single best feature

I didn't notice that Barry's script in the nicoedit source used mv instead of tgz2pet to convert the tarball to a pet - therefore it was missing the md5. Thanks for repacking it ttuuxxx.
History and keyboard shortcut

Hello,
few remarks:
-some files are created directly in the root folder .nicoedit.files, .NicoEdit.rc
-when opening a document, the Open file browser starts from the root directory, could it start from the folder of the latest opened document.
- when a new document is created, it does not appear in the history menu (not convenient).
-Could we have a keyboard shortcut to get directly to this history menu
(Alt+H ?).
-One nice feature of Geany that Nicoedit lacks is the notification when the active document has been modified from outside the editor (with the option to reload the new version or not).
regards,

Hi,
I made a new version of NicoEdit (2.4)
News:
When opening a document, the file browser start from the last used directory.
When a new document is created, it appear in the history menu.
When you press F5, a dialog is opened with history menu.
When document is modified with another texteditor, NicoEdit detect the modification and propose to reload the file.
Some bugs fix.
Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,
Few remarks:
-For find and find/replace:could you use current selection as default input
-For a new line could you use the indentation of the previous line by default.
-Undo/Redo buttons do not work.
-When launched from console, I got this message:
Code: Select all
(nicoedit:26883): GtkSourceView-CRITICAL **:
gtk_source_language_manager_get_language: assertion `id != NULL failed `
but it still runs fine, by the way ,could you print an usage details when used incorrectly.
+one extra question: How I could put the window at the top of the screen when the program starts
(currently it starts at ~30px from the top on my screen), or maximize it automatically.

Nicolas,
I running Puppy 4.3.1 and using NicoEdit 2.4.
I'm getting back into learning Genie programming, and I'm updating my Genie intro web pages as I go along.
There is a thought that occurred to me. I'm pasting example code into the web pages, but it would be really nice if I could copy and paste the code with html color syntax markup.
That would be a lovely feature for NicoEdit. In the "Edit" menu have "Copy with HTML markup" or "Copy with color markup".
Or there could be a save item to save with HTML markup.
