I'm using 0.2.8 and find that it is trashing tabs in source files, converting them into spaces - but not universally - or even consistently. It seems that the frame designer always writes code without tabs but some other parts of the system respect the preferences tab choice. Have I missed an option here? We are a large Python shop and tabs is the company standard. It is simply not an option to use spaces. Thanks for any info or help to overcome this. Dale Strickland-Clark |

I'll try improve this ASAP. While trying to fix this I tested it again and it was working ok. One thing to look out for (got me too) is that you have to restart Boa after changing the tabs/spaces preferences. Then it works as expected. If you can find a spesific issue I should look at, please send me the exact steps to duplicate the problem. I recommend running with the View Whitespace setting on always on, makes it easier to see when something goes wrong. Cheers, Riaan. |
