CodeLite IDE

Yes - only patches

Ohohoh, very nice! Looking forward to release!

The plugin in svn 6200 is slightly broken

* switching to another editor doesn't change the text in the zoom pane. it still shows text from the first one opened without any functionality. only when you disable/re-enable the plugin does it update the text, and then it's just stuck on THAT editor's text until you disable/re-enable again.

* clicking, double-clicking, right-clicking, ... no clicking on the zoom pane has any effect. it's supposed to take you to the section of code you clicked on.

* the syntax highlighting somewhat works, except it's not the same syntax highlighting as in the large editor. it only seems to highlight literals, macros, and comments.

* when enabling the plugin with an editor already open, it doesn't highlight the viewable code until you scroll once on the large editor.

* after detaching the zoom nav panel from the workspace book and attaching it to another area, and closing & re-opening codelite, the panel is gone. it's not attached anywhere, floating, nor inside the book. and it is still enabled in settings.

I can take a look at these problems a little later, but this is a heads up.

edit: after a quick look at the code, it appears everything is in order but the events just aren't being hooked for some reason.

edit2: I'm gonna do a bit of regression testing:

svn 6200: fully updated codeblocks, problems outlined above.
svn 6199: fully updated codeblocks except ZoomNavigator directory is updated to 6199. deleted ~/.codelite/. Switching Editors problem is NON-EXISTENT. must have happened in snv6200.

Yes, I am fixing this now - had to commit it that way because I left work and I wanted to continue working on it at home

Also in progress

This is a seems like a general bug in codelite - you can re-enable it from: "Perspective -> Restore Default layout"

okay, cool. well otherwise this thing is looking quite sexy.

One feature I wanted to squeeze in there was the ability to click&drag the highlighed area to scroll the main document. I had problems with this since the pane scrolls itself and then you get into an ever-moving selection and, that isn't really good for anything.

And one problem I had with the original implementation as well as it's current form is the use of markers to do the highlighting. un/highlighting each non/visible line is a slower process than it needs to be. I'd rather just draw some sort of translucent quad over the text instead (not sure what else to call it, I'm an OpenGL programmer ). you can tell there is lag when you play scroll with it enabled as opposed to disabled ( at least on some lower-end machines ).

its the same syntax highlight except that it lacks the "context" coloring (the "real" editor as a context member which is responsible for fetching interesting words from the database and pass them on to scintilla)
Adding this will simply kill the performance ... (which is already quite CPU consuming)


FYI:
It works pretty instant on Windows, you can't tell the different. However, on Linux its a different story... you can see the slowness - this is why I placed the "enable plugin" checkbox there - to allow user to quickly turn it off/on
I am trying new approach: using wxIdleEvent instead of the current hooking I did to the scrolling.

Try 'svn update' and see how it works for you now

It is fully functional (svn 6205). It's still got the lag on this linux box (the one I use at work is quite old, but my laptop at home doesnt chug at all).

I also noticed the top highlighted line is the one used for the center of the zoompane scrolling, instead of the center of the entire highlighted area. kind of annoying but, not a big deal by any means.

I'm pretty happy with it overall.

Yes, its still a bit laggy on old linux boxes / mac
This is why by default it starts as 'Disabled'
