after some tweaking I can compile the code, but it doesn't link
("undefined reference to `GetUserNameExW'")
I can find a clue that it needs to link with Secur32.lib. But is that a
32bit library? Where do I add libraries to link to?

I'll have a look tomorrow. b.t.w. a windows build environment is much simpler nowadays, just follow the "Building on Windows" bit on https://bluefish.openoffice.nl/install.html Olivier On 4/24/26 09:45, Hannah Novak wrote: > Hi Oliver, > Would you be able to see if these changes are feasible as I don't > have a current working build environment set up for bluefish on > windows anymore.

Hi Oliver, Would you be able to see if these changes are feasible as I don't have a current working build environment set up for bluefish on windows anymore. Just an annoyance that the meta tag can only update to the username on windows and not the real/account name as g_get_real_name() only sets it to username.

Hi all, I just released Bluefish 2.4.1! Bluefish 2.4.1 is a minor maintenance release with a few notable changes. The experimental "side by side" feature that was introduced in 2.4.0 is no longer experimental and is fully stable now. A new feature is that Bluefish will automatically adjust the text colors for people that use a dark desktop theme. Also translations for Ελληνικά (Greek) and தமிழ் (Tamiḻ) have been completely renewed. Next to that a critical bug and a regression in the split view function has been fixed. The windows build has some minor improvements, and last several translations are updated. Most packages are already available! check it out!

Thanks for the guidance. I thought it was a software thing but you are right it is a system thing. I didn't understand at first what you were suggesting, but googled a few words and realized that you assumed I had a ftp server running something like Apache. Which I don't, much simpler than that. So back to your first thought which was FUSE. A little non-linear searching landed me with some old .deb package that isn't modern but does what I need. It took a while but I installed curlftpfs and that worked to mount the network ftp directory location as a local directory location and now it all works just fine. It isn't a persistent mount, but I wrote a little bash script to execute the curlftpfs command. Learned a whole bunch of new to me stuff. Bluefish sees not FTP://192.168.2.1 but /mnt/ftp and that makes Firefox happy. If Firefox is happy I am happy. Thanks for the support and the suggestions.

I assume you have a webserver running on the machine that has the ftp server as well? Then right click on the directory in the filebrowser, and set a documentroot for that directory.

Hi I have upcycled an old Toshiba Satellite laptop with Windows 8.1 and a few weeks ago partitioned off a chunk and installed Mint 22.3 and have been working to at least replicate everything I was able to do with Windows, and aiming for an incremental improvement. I have an ASUS RT-AC66U wireless router with a mounted Samsung T7 SSD USB for network file sharing between the different (Windows 7/8.1/8.1RT/10) computers/laptops/tablets that I frequently use. In Windows File Manager I have the drive mapped with a FTP:// location to a drive letter s:// and use Notepad++ for HTML/CSS/etc edit and with a click the pages load to preview in Firefox ESR. That all works fine, the FTP location is mapped to a drive letter so Firefox treats it like a local File:\\\\\ location. Getting this setup to work with Linux and Bluefish is right now not as seamless. Linux doesn't allow (at least that I can find) mapping network locations to a drive letter. I can open Files and mount the ftp location as ftp://192.168.2.1/ and that works to access my "network location" files. It is in my Favourites folder so it gets remembered. I can open an .htm file in Firefox 148 for viewing from Files and in the address bar it says file:///run/user/1000/gvfs/ftp:host=192.168.2.1/T7_Cloud/shareStorage/varial/helloWorld.htm this is even though FTP has been deprecated in Firefox, Linux appends the file location so that it opens in Firefox. I can open same .htm file in Bluefish from Files and in the title bar it says, helloWorld.htm (ftp://192.168.2.1/T7_Cloud/shareStorage/varial/helloWorld.htm) - Bluefish 2.2.15 When I click on the "Preview In Browser" it opens a FireFox 148 window with the address ftp://192.168.2.1/T7_Cloud/shareStorage/varial/helloWorld.htm which Firefox will not load, it asks what app to use because it won't load FTP files natively. I tried adding in Firefox config network.ftp.enabled true but that didn't help. In Bluefish the External Command to open the browser is the default Enabled Firefox firefox '%p'& Is there something I can do to append that command so the action/filename is the same as if I was opening the file directly from Files? I wanted to try using the Live view that refreshes the page when you save changes. Otherwise I will have to open the .htm in Files, and open it in Bluefish and do the same manual refresh that I do with Windows/Notepad++ which isn't horrible, just not quite gaining the advantage. Thanks for any suggestions/solutions. Oh, should mention I know nothing about programming languages like Python but I can type with 2 fingers. Al |

Hi all, I've added auto-detection to Bluefish if you are using a dark theme - this means automatically suitable colors for the text styles, cursor, current line and the tab labels. who can help to test? Olivier -- Bluefish website http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ Blog http://oli4444.wordpress.com/ |

Hi everyone, My previous attempt at an interactive Bluefish hotkey finder failed because it wouldn't work under Wayland. Now I have one that works under Xorg, Wayland, command line terminal emulator, no-GUI virtual terminal, serial terminal, and Windows. The command is simply: fzf bfhelp_hello_sorted.list fzf is a CLI search program Essential to the Interactive Bluefish hotkey finder, and very handy in dozens of other situations. Its package comes with most Linux distributions. If not, do a git clone: git clone https://github.com/junegunn/fzf If you use Windows, find the installation using the following web search query, WITHOUT the doublequotes: "how do I get fzf for Windows?" If you use a Mac, find the installation using the following web search query, WITHOUT the doublequotes: "how do I get fzf for mac?" The bfhelp_hello_sorted.list file was quickly created by me via a casual search of the source code. I welcome all additions or suggestions. The following is the text of bfhelp_hello_sorted.list so far: ========================================================= Advanced Find and Replace (<control>H) Advanced Find and Replace (Mac) (<shift><control>H) Close current file (<control>W) Cut (<control>X) Edit Preferences (Mac) (<control>comma) Full screen (F11) Goto first document (Mac) (<shift><alt>Left) Goto first document (<shift><control>Page_Up) Goto last document (Mac) (<shift><alt>Right) Goto last document (<shift><control>Page_Down) Goto next bookmark (<shift><control>K) Goto next document (<control>Page_Down) Goto next document (Mac) (<alt>Right) Goto previous document (<control>Page_Up) Goto previous document (Mac) (<alt>Left) Goto previous document (<shift><control>J) Indent (<control>period) Indent (Mac) (<alt>period) New file (<control>N) Open file (<control>O) Paste (<control>V) Quit Bluefish (<control>Q) Redo (<shift><control>Z") Save current file (<control>S) Save file as (<shift><control>S) Show find bar (<control>F) Unindent (<control>comma) Unindent (Mac) (<alt>comma) ========================================================= HTH, SteveT |

ubuntu unity 24.04 bluefish 2.4.0 Hi. Thanks to you I successfully installed bluefish 2.4.0. So I decided to look in to directoryassistant-3.0; I downloaded and unzipped: directoryassistant.1.gz Then I tried the sudo make install: mg@MGDesktopUnity:~/Downloads/BlueFish/directoryassistant-3.0$ sudo make install [sudo] password for mg: cat directoryassistant.1 | gzip -9 > directoryassistant.1.gz install -d -m 755 /usr/share/man/man1/ install -d -m 755 /usr/bin/ install -g 0 -o root -m 0644 logo.svg /usr/share/directoryassistant/ install: cannot stat 'logo.svg': No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:12: install] Error 1 It said there was no 'logo.svg' so I added a dummy one and tried the sudo make install again: mg@MGDesktopUnity:~/Downloads/BlueFish/directoryassistant-3.0$ sudo make install install -d -m 755 /usr/share/man/man1/ install -d -m 755 /usr/bin/ install -g 0 -o root -m 0644 logo.svg /usr/share/directoryassistant/ install: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/directoryassistant/': Not a directory make: *** [Makefile:12: install] Error 1 I'm not sure what to do at this point. And, what is the RUN command to invoked Direcory Assistant if I ever do get it installed ? Thanks, Mike from the 1000 Islands, Ontario, Canada |

Hi. I am an avid BlueFish user (Currently 2.2.15 ) and would like to upgrade to 2.4.0. A '.deb' install would be super easy for a non technical person. If I do a "sudo apt install bluefish", the System comes up with 2.2.15 which is what I already have installed. Is there a '.deb' install available for 2.4.0 ? Thanks for this excellent product, Mike from the 1000 Islands, Ontario, Canada |

Hi all, I just released Bluefish 2.4.0. Bluefish 2.4.0 has some new features and many small improvements. It is no longer a 2.2 release because backwards compatibility with the 2.0 series of Bluefish has been removed. If you upgrade from 2.0 straight to 2.4 your config files and project files are no longer 100% correctly loaded. Starting from 2.4 Bluefish will place config files no longer in ~/.bluefish. On Linux it will be ~/.config and ~/.local/ , on Windows LocalAppData and RoamingAppData, and ~/Library/Application support on OSX. The biggest new feature, still experimental, is that you can edit two document side-by-side. A second new feature is that you can change opening and ending tags in XML or HTML simultaneously if you hit [ctrl][t]. Anothe new feature is that you can more easily save the current contents to a template. For new users, and also active in new projects, is a UI selection dialog, where you can choose between a UI optimised for web development, programming or just have everything enabled or disabled. This will help new Bluefish users to customize Bluefish in an easier way. There are a few fixes as well. Selecting lines by dragging in the margin works more reliable. Paste special works more reliable. Line comments in Python are better detected, which is visible in the syntax highlighting, but also improved the toggle comment function. The Windows build has better error messages when starting external commands fails. Code is available at https://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/source/bluefish-2.4.0.tar.bz2 Binaries and packages will follow soon. regards, Olivier -- Bluefish website http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ Blog http://oli4444.wordpress.com/ |

I can only find Translation status on the wiki, not a page how to translate? https://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/index.php/Translations which page are you referring to?

Among current Wiki pages "How to Translate" is worth to salvage, I think.

I have copied all "active" and still relevant content from the wiki into the new website (the pages how to install, build from source, build on windows and build on OSX). I'm planning to retire the wiki because in the last years there have been almost no contributions and it does require maintenance (security updates, etc.). If you are missing important information from the wiki let me know and we can copy it into the new website.

Where is the link to Wiki? I think almost all the other content is inherited into the new design.

Hi all, At the bottom of this email, ready for copy and paste (I don't know if this list allows attachments) is a proof of concept for what could grow into a very thorough help facility, in its own executable, requiring no changes to Bluefish. It's a simple shellscript. Olivier can't use this proof of concept because he uses Wayland instead of X11. If there's anybody here with an X11 laptop who is geographically close to Olivier can run this shellscript and show it to him, then he can see how helpful or not helpful he thinks it could be. Right now this proof of concept helps with only 27 commands, and only hotkeys, not menu routes to the same commands/functionalities. This can be made MUCH more inclusive in the future. Right now this proof of concept requires X11 and also the installation of dmenu. Dmenu is very easy to install via https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/ or usually through your Linux distribution's packaging system. If people see value in this, I can make it into command line application by using just a small part of dmenu (and dmenu is a very small program in the first place), so that it can be used with X11 or Wayland via a terminal emulator, or a non-GUI Linux or BSD via a virtual terminal. You narrow down the list by typing a string, and you navigate up and down with the up and down arrows. You select the line you want, press the Enter key, and the line goes to stdout. Because of a dmenu thing, you need to press Enter again to regain the command prompt. Below this sentence is the complete shellscript to implement the Bluefish Helper Hello World: #!/usr/bin/env sh cat $THELIST | dmenu -i -l 20 << ENDLIST Advanced Find and Replace (<control>H) Advanced Find and Replace (Mac) (<shift><control>H) Close current file (<control>W) Cut (<control>X) Edit Preferences (Mac) (<control>comma) Full screen (F11) Goto first document (Mac) (<shift><alt>Left) Goto first document (<shift><control>Page_Up) Goto last document (Mac) (<shift><alt>Right) Goto last document (<shift><control>Page_Down) Goto next bookmark (<shift><control>K) Goto next document (<control>Page_Down) Goto next document (Mac) (<alt>Right) Goto previous document (<control>Page_Up) Goto previous document (<shift><control>J) Goto previous document (Mac) (<alt>Left) Indent (<control>period) Indent (Mac) (<alt>period) New file (<control>N) Open file (<control>O) Paste (<control>V) Quit Bluefish (<control>Q) Redo (<shift><control>Z") Save current file (<control>S) Save file as (<shift><control>S) Show find bar (<control>F) Unindent (<control>comma) Unindent (Mac) (<alt>comma) ENDLIST |

Hi all, I've cleaned up the website and tried to improve the design a bit. https://bluefish.openoffice.nl/newwebsite/ What do you think? Any opinions or suggestions for improvement? we really could use some more short video's explaining how to use features. Is anybody good at creating video's?

I didn't know what dmenu was, so I looked it up. I don't understand how dmenu should interact with Bluefish, so I don't understand your idea? I also moved over to wayland already, so I probably cannot use it anyway. regards, Olivier |

Your cheat sheet is already spectacular, and I will refer to it often. 2. It would be very cool if, for each key combo, you could also include any equivalent menu navigation and equivalent icons. 3. Zen-coding is IMHO Bluefish's greatest asset, and any commands related to Zen-coding would be a wonderful addition. As one example, if you've typed img.diagram and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, you get <img class="diagram"></img> with the cursor between the start and end tags. There are probably many others. 4. It would be wonderful if you could add a footnote explaining how to add or change a key-combo. For instance, Ctrl+Shift+, and Ctrl+Shift, are both essential parts of my window manager's workflow, so I'd love to change both Ctrl+Shifts to Windows key. 5. This idea would be ultra-cool, and I can help. You could make a text file list of short descriptions of Bluefish's every functionality. Each description is followed by the hotkey and/or menu sequence and/or UTF-8 version of its clickable icon. The list should be sorted, and I can do this if you don't want to. This list is then used as input to dmenu, so the user types in a keyword to shrink the list down to where the desired functionality is highlighted. Dmenu writes directly to X, so you can't put dmenu in a window or use it with Wayland, but I might be able to create a version that outputs straight to stdout. So we could start out with the dmenu version as a proof of concept, and then myself or with help I can make the version that outputs to stdout. If somebody points out where in which source file I can find all the menu entries, I might be able to make the list myself. This would be a standalone program, not linked into Bluefish. If it's as handy as I think it will be, the Bluefish crew could easily fork this lookup program from the Help menu. If you want, I can have an incomplete proof of concept ready within a week.

The 2.4.0 release has quite a few other changes and fixes, so it
