FrexxEd... Very interesting...
How do you get it to do syntax colouring ? The GUI is bad and needs update, does not check all border sizes and fonts :-( While playing with the speller and some other things got several enforcer hits :-( Seems to be very powerful indeed, but slow. |

- Keep codes frequently used closeby in the form of snippets. This makes it easy to retrieve and access them easily instead of searching them and use copy and paste.

Indeed, but the default setup is quite awful. It's the script system that saves it, otherwise it would be a very mediocre editor. I've spent quite a lot of time overhauling it, and it's much better now (although not finished).
You have to add modes by placing the right scripts in a folder called FrexxEd:startup/ basically. For C you can put CMode.FPL in FrexxEd:startup/. If the folder doesn't exist, make it. You can find CMode.FPL in the FPL folder. Quote:

Yeah, needs a 68030 to be really useful. That and FBlit+FText. It can look nice, but NOT with the out of the box system. I already made some small changes to the source code to allow coloring of the line numbers, and to make the syntax coloring system handle numbers better. The way the syntax coloring system works actually sucks turds, and I'm thinking about replacing it, because that doesn't seem too hard. Anyway, don't expect anything like this with the standard setup and scripts in the FPL folder: |

I really like those suggestions. It's great for when I don't have the necessary documentation at hand

Cool job, can you make a full pack of it ? And since you are messing with the code already, I will advise you some places in the GUI to fix (simple things) but will make it much more system compliant. As for speed, 060+RTG does not help much. Maybe debugging tools slow it down too... |

Sure, I'll put it in the Zone today. Just be warned that it's still a work in progress, and that there may be some rough edges here and there.

To Michael:
FrexxEd is in the Zone. Some notes: The screen mode is a double scan mode, sorry about that. Hadn't realized until after uploading the archive. Bookmarks are saved as file comments currently, so take that in account. Is easy to remove if unwanted, and those bookmarks don't seem to work properly yet anyway (wrote a script for it, but it seems incomplete, perhaps adding them to the software directly is a better idea). This package doesn't need an assign in user-startup anymore. I've added a little program that makes the assign based on PROGDIR:, I really need to get rid of this assign nonsense by updating the source code. |

Well, that's strange, it's really in there, almost at the top of the list. Have you reported the issue?
Here's the file as an attachment then: frexxed.lha |

I used an FTP, and the 'zone' and upload area don't have it.
Guess we have a different Z in mind |

Solved it ;-) Strangely, all other files are available on the ftp side, but not this file.
This setup works better and much faster! Also it might be better to set the def prefs to clone WB. Indeed it requires a lot of work to make it more comfortable to use and make things work. But configuration options are amazing! The screen mode with different file type opened at once looks cool, all files get their colour scheme. The major bugs/limitations are: + Scroller does not know the size of the window size gadget and title bar. + All requester windows have the bottom buttons that touch the bottom border (need some extra space) + Can not use public screens, since it corrupts the palette + Palette limited to first 16 colours only (can not allocate free pen on WB) + Palette editing is funny, drag any colour slider, and other sliders move with it too. |

Thanks.
Why? Yeah, they're pretty insane. Quote:
now loads syntax coloring files on demand (but only needs to load them once). Quote:
Really? I'll check that out. Quote:
screen. That shouldn't be happening, very strange. |

CloneWB - since otherwise it will not start properly on all machines with different monitor setups.
GUI - yes, visual prefs, everything set to nice square aspect. On public screen it does not care about pens locked by other progs, and only allows to make a choice from first 16 (ECS legacy limit?) Should be all 256. Editing/changing the background colour is a pain. Unless a global option is hiding somewhere. |

The small cosmetic GUI issues (at the bottom you see shell window with correct looking gadgets and scroller OS3 style)
