simonsteele / pn Goto Github PK

I just upgraded to v2.4, and when I try to start the program, nothing happens. If I look in task manager I can see pn.exe appear and then disappear straight away.

I deleted my old config (after I backed it up) from %APPDATA%/Echo Software/PN2 and now it works OK, but I have to re-enter all my preferences :(

Another slightly annoying thing is that if I right click on entry in the "Open Files" sidebar, the program hangs for about 5-10 seconds before the menu appears.

Good morning,

This is the perfect editor accept for one thing.

I'm one that puts up many windows, organized, so i can bounce around between them and see many code segments concurrently. I don't use the tabbed approach.

Closing down and re-opening workspaces, and/or projects, does not maintain the previous window positions. An older editor like Crimson will maintain individual window positions.

Is this doable for you ?

This is actually very important to me as I deal with many projects on any given day. Re-ordering windows is counter-productive.

I thank you : )

After following the instructions at pnotepad.org/docs/dev/how_to_compile_pn I started pn.exe. The window itself looks fine but it shows Debug Assertion Failed, Included here are a dump and a screenshot:

Original issue 20 created by simonsteele on 2008-03-22T18:06:01.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run Windows Vista. (maybe. my desktop doesn't have this problem, it's
   running XP.)
2. Search. (Ctrl-F)
3. Try to type anything into the search field.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to be able to type out a word. Instead, it attempts to
autocomplete JUST using the letter I type as the first letter. For example,
I'd like to search for "register". I type R, and it doesn't type anything,
it just opens the autocomplete menu and shows me previous queries I've run
that start with r. If I select "r" from that submenu, move the pointer
after it, and press "e", it lets me complete it normally (sometimes). Other
times, it won't let me type AT ALL unless I choose something from
autocomplete, type in the middle of the word, then delete everything on
each side of what I want. Or, I can type out the word I want in the
document itself, highlight it, and then it will show up when I hit ctrl-F.
In general, it is absurdly difficult for me to actually search.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v2.0.6.1-ella, though I update frequently hoping this is fixed, but it's
not. I've used several versions. I run Windows Vista on this laptop.

Please provide any additional information below.
I uploaded a video demonstrating my problem to YouTube:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=h0qCT6PcBao

For example, press Ctrl+O to open a dialog and while typing, files in project will searched and then user could select some file and press enter to open it. This way user does not need to start clicking around the project or file explorer.

Thanks!

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open a file
2. Select the same file from the "Recent Files" list
3. The file would be re-opened again no matter what your option about re-
   open is

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The action should be the same as re-open a file

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

All versions on all OSes.

I've patched it in the attachment. And in this patch, the last enhancement
requred in issue # 17 is also included. Thanks.

Original issue 2 created by simonsteele on 2008-03-10T13:43:47.000Z:

Fixes contributed by Jarek Bartkowiak:

1. Added options for setting scintilla's y caret policy. As a default PN2
   uses 3 lines as the jump when scrolling up and down, which is not my
   favourite. I added two options to let the user to configure it (see
   Options_dialog.jpg - this are the options I prefer).
2. If you rename project and then close PN2 no "Save modified items" prompt
   is displayed. Renaming project does not set its 'dirty flag'. I fixed
   Folder::SetName(LPCTSTR name_) method in project.cpp to solve this problem.
3. Saving and restoring workspace changes order of the open files and does
   not preserve selected (focused) file (see Workspace.jpg and
   Workspace_after_restore.jpg).

I only managed to do minor modifications that preserve selected file
(CMainFrame::WorkspaceChildCloseNotify() method in mainfrm.cpp). To solve
this problem one should modify 'pnws' file format (add 'selected file'
attribute) and change method that gets open documents list. The problem is
that this method call Win32 EnumChildWindows function that enumerates
windows in its Z order (not the true order of the document windows).

1. Minors changes in methods that save workspaces. See
   CMainFrame::OnFileSaveWorkspaceState() and CMainFrame::SaveWorkspaceAs()
   methods.

On the download page are two links, both pointing to http://www.pnotepad.org/bugs/ which shows a 404 - not found message.

Would be nice if I could drag a tab and drop it on a project folder to add it.

There are the language keywords, but I have my library with my own functions.
If possible create a second keyword list, for user keywords, with other color style, could be a good option.

First thing I do in programmers notepad is change background to a dark color.
When do this, need configure all colors, in all schemmas.
I delete all other schemmas, and copy my default to programmers notepad default.
If color schemma is the same for all schemmas, could be best.

In my development needs i frequently have project in project group with source files that i use for view/search but don't want to modify. Now for such behavior should i switch to protect each opened file manually. It would be great if i could toggle write protection only once on project or folder in project.

2. Go to Options->Advanced

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Verilog scheme is selected instead of VHDL, the sorting of the list is
interfering with the selection model.

This is an enhancement request:

When using the "Go To Line" dialog box (ctrl G), it would be nice to have the provided line number positioned in the middle of the edit window. Currently, sometimes it is placed at the top, sometimes at the bottom of the window, depending on the prior location.

This fixes a bug in the command line parsing for the
multi-instance startup code. The function
MultipleInstanceManager::SendParameters() was dropping
the argument for the -l parameter because it was
treating all args that didn't begin with a dash as
filenames.

The parsing could still be made more robust, but I
think this covers the current use cases.

All the changes are to that one function in pnutils.cpp

Recently I've discovered that my text cursor in PN is almost invisible. If I set it to a thick cursor, I can see that it is light grey. Is this a bug, or is it something I can set somewhere? I've been checking the options, but have so far come up with nothing.

SOmetimes a caret is not shown for the active tab.. and whatever editing
that is done, is done in some other tab which is not active.. (Esp when a
file with different scheme is opened)
Which means that PN fails to give keyboard focus to the Text view in the
active tab view..
Here is the patch that fixes this small bug..

Steps to reproduce :

1. Open PNotepad
2. Maximize <new> tab
3. Now goto windows Explorer and open c++ file with PNotepad (or any file
   for that matter)
4. Now a pnotepad will have two tabs,<new> and a tab for c++ file
5. Now just press some keys on keyboard..
6. Observe that editing is being done in <new> which is not active but tab
   for new file is active!!

Patch ::

In PN_NOTFIY handler of the mainfrm (OnChildNotify method).. I have just
added the code that simulates the mouse click in the active tab view. This
gives a focus to active view..

In current version output font size value is slightly less than main font size and this is looks not good if used bitmap font like Fixedsys.

Original issue 14 created by simonsteele on 2008-03-15T04:52:05.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. fold some functions in the text window
2. double click one function name which is after those folded ones in the
   left panel
3. you would see the cursor doesn't appear at the right position before
   you take any action in the text window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The target function should display at two lines off the top of text view

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

All versions on all OSes

Please provide any additional information below.

I've fixed it by placing a call to VisibleFromDocLine() before LineScroll
() in CChildFrame::OnGotoLine() function, please see the attached file.

I tried to compile the whole src ball in VS2008 express edition(with ATL
files from VS2005 folders), it worked well with only one change: The
string.h was renamed to pstring.h. Looked like the name of string.h
confuse the compiler with the one of the same name in the standard include
folder.

There r just two header files which include our string.h, say pn.h and
extiface.h, I think it is acceptable to change its name to pstring.h to
enhance the compatiblity.

Original issue 17 created by simonsteele on 2008-03-17T13:24:55.000Z:

As mentioned in the forum:

• When changing the colour/blend of the current line highlight, there's no
  visual feedback - the highlighted line is not visible when in the options.
  Especially a problem when trying to change the blend value.
• Go to line forgets the last line you entered. it would be nice if it kept
  the previous value you entered.
• Perhaps a personal preference, but if I bring up pn, it's got a new file
  open. If I open another file, it opens an additional tab. If I haven't
  modified the new pane, it would be nice if the file I've just opened
  replaced the 'new' file tab, because otherwise I'd close it anyway.

Thanks

The default powershell scheme file has .scheme extension, and doesn't seem to highlight ps1 files correctly for me. Renaming the file to .schemedef appears to work (code is color-highlighted correctly).

Also, the Edit>Comments items are disabled, so I can't automatically comment/uncomment code, which is a bummer. There is this in the .scheme file:

    <comments>
        <line start="#" />
    </comments>

That helps highlight comments, but still can't add/remove them with PN. I added this:

        <block start="&lt;#" end="&lt;" />

Which helps w/ block comments.

Where do I start to figure out how to enable comment/uncomment via scheme in PN? Thanks!

v2.4.0.2378-duke.

I'm using 2.4rc and have noticed that find / find next jump to the bottom of the file and work back from there with each press of F3.
...
update: please consider closed. Years as a user and I'd never noticed the 'search up' option in the 'Find' dialog!

I recently uninstalled PN but it didn’t take the context menu items with it. There is no ‘pnse.dll’ on my system (as far as a couple of search tools can tell) and there appears to be no entries for that dll in the registry.

Reinstalling the program, unchecking the integration option, then uninstalling had no effect.

I followed this guide [ http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-clean-up-your-messy-windows-context-menu/ ] and there are no entries for PN in any of those registry fields.

I then got the tool that was suggested in the howtogeek.com article. Here’s a screenshot: http://imgur.com/xTJwmuE that shows there’s a context item, but no registry entry for that item. (The hilited item is manage.py, a python text file)

Please advise.

I've finally got both the demo and the template examples compiling and working well. I'd really like to dive into extending pnotepad as I've used it for years and have quite a few itches to scratch.

It is possible to dock a window created by an extension?

Please provide an Erlang Scheme (request:
http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/342)

Programmer's Notepad 2 works great under Wine (which is fantastic for those of us on Linux, I still haven't found a native linux editor I like as much as PN2)...except for one really annoying little thing:

When using the "Tab order controlled by recent use" setting, the ctrl-tab order becomes seemingly random.

I don't know if this helps, but when I ctrl-tab in pn2, and only when "Tab order controlled by recent use" is enabled, Wine generates the following output on stderr:

fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate (0x1040e), partial stub!
fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate ((nil)), partial stub!

Sounds like PN2's recent use tab order is relying on some usage of LockWindowUpdate (or something else that, in turn, relies on a particular usage of LockWindowUpdate) that isn't fully-working in Wine. Naturally, the ideal solution would be a fix within Wine, but maybe there's an easy way for PN2 to work around it?

On the main homepage (http://www.pnotepad.org/), there's a link to this page:

That's 404. Missing page.

Projects pane could remember the last opened project / group, (turn on/off

Most windows software structures its window titles as something like Document Name - Software Name, but PN uses Programmer's Notepad - [Document Name], which is unhelpful when the Windows taskbar is set to "Never combine" mode so that window titles are shown in the taskbar - PN's title is always truncated to Programmer's Notep... so you can never identify a PN window by the current open document.
