  • Comment: AutoRecovery

    "This is out of scope for the component, Scintilla since Scintilla does not perform file I/O. It only deals with in-memory buffers." A valid point and one you should have made earlier instead of a dubious argument. "I find this feature in other editors annoying rather than useful and certainly not critical. You have a different point of view." We may have different points of view but they are...

  • Comment: AutoRecovery

    Autosave is an absolutely critical feature, without which the editor component and its derivative editors are completely unsuitable for use. "A scriptable solution would be much more general than a specific hard coded implementation so I won't include a hard coded implementation." And much less reliable in a feature that requires high reliablity. Much less portable. And doesn't work at all...

  • import video files as chapters rather than titles

    There should be an easy way to include multiple video files as chapters (or cells) rather than as separate titles. In many cases a movie or episode is distributed on the net split into pieces. Separate titles in a titleset do not playback well (player pauses between titles and remaining time is not displayed correctly). In addition, original work may be rendered by scene to reduce the...

  • Add --prune to greatly reduce memory usage.

    Memory usage can be huge when processing large XML data files. For example, the freshmeat database dump. XMLstarlet uses more than four orders of magnitude more memory than is actually needed for most operations on this file. There is a simple way to fix this. Prune the tree. xmlstarlet sel --prune /project-listing/project -t -m "xpath1" --copyof "xpath2" -f freshmeat.xml Use a...

  • auto-save

    Autosave is the most important feature in an editor. Autosave: - Must default to enabled - Should be configurable: on/off, file prefix ('#'), file suffix ('#'), where files are stored (default same directory as file). - Must not save files in /tmp which is erased when rebooting - Must at least notify the user the next time file is edited if autosave is newer, whether or not...

  • Autocompletion

    I notice several problems with auto tag completion. - Popup tag completion window give all tags, not just those which are valid at this location. This makes the pop-up more of a nuisance than an aid. - You have to hit return to get out of the pop up. Pop up should exit when you type ">". - Cursor is in the wrong position when you close a tag. The first thing you should do...

  • Documentation unusable

    Examples #2 and #3 are missing. It doesn't tell you where to point your web browser. It doesn't tell you much at all and what it does tell you is often gleaned from unrelated sections of the documentation. mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/lib/input_uvc.so -y -r 640x480" mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/lib/input_uvc.so -y -r 640x480" -o "/usr/lib/output_file.so -d /tmp/junk/" The first runs without...
