It still doesn't manage project (multiple files) well. But it looks/runs much nicer then Epsilon, but I haven't compared the functionality. Otherwise it's pritty comparable to Epsilon (without the trial time-limit).

Wow that's nice.  If it only had a GUI on the configuration (especially for font/color stuff) that would be excellent.  I betcha that tool ends up doing really well in the web/programmer community, at least.

It's so much better than Notepad it's ridiculous though.  Almost has make capability builtin it seems.  The brace folding is a nice plus.  The companion programs really transform it into a real IDE evidently.

Neat!

Looks good. Who's going to do the D plug-in.

And before you ask ...

Cool. Let me know when you've got it done.

[And I know we're deprecating D Journal talk, but do you think you could write this up as an article. It would be useful both as a D programming piece, and also as an introduction to a useful tool for all the programming newbies who are wanting to learn via D?]

Sean would you be able to address the project handling shortfall mentioned by Joel?

It has a companion program called Filerx that does that stuff.  It can even convert old VC++ .DSP files.

So far it seems a tad lacking...  the editor is real nice, but can only handle 1 file open at a time.  Filerx doesn't know much about the build process and the editor can only build a whole project via external make. (but it can compile individual files just fine)

It's still a great big step up from Notepad and batch files.  I find it works in practice, but I think I still prefer Visual Studio.

But hey, what do you expect from *free* software *with source code*!  We can always improve it.

What I have so far:


#(in SciTEGlobal.properties file:)

Add *.d to list of file types in source.files=

Add $(filter.d) to list of file types in open.filter=

Add &D|d|| to list of file types in menu.language=


#(put at the bottom of SciTE's cpp.properties file:)

file.patterns.d=*.d

filter.d=D (d)|*.d|

lexer.$(file.patterns.d)=cpp

keywordclass.d=abstract alias align asm assert bit body break byte \
case cast catch cent char class complex \
const continue debug default delete delegate deprecated \
do double else enter enum extended extern export \
false final finally float for goto if imaginary import \
in inout int interface invariant long new null \
out override private protected public return \
short static struct super switch synchonized \
this throw true try typedef ubyte ucent uint ulong \
union unittest ushort using version virtual void wchar while with
keywords.$(file.patterns.d)=$(keywordclass.d)
word.characters.$(file.patterns.d)=$(word.chars.cxx)

# D is only available on Windows
if PLAT_WIN
dmd=\dmd\bin\dmd -debug -unittest -c $(FileName)

command.compile.*.d=$(dmd)
command.build.*.d=make
command.go.*.d=$(FileName)


That should get you most of the way there.

   That's just because of the default config. You can change it in the
global options file. Just uncomment line 90: "buffers=10" and that allows
you up to 10 files. And you even get an extra menu entry :)

   I do agree it could be better, though. But the sources are fully
available, if I understand correctly.

   :) And, at least, it works much like VS in every aspect of editing and
navigating the text that I care about. And that's rare.

   Andrew, this was a really nice pointer.
