CUTE User-friendly Text Editor / News: Recent posts

Hello folks!

Things got a lot better, since TrollTech is willing to release QT for Windows under GPL by Q2 this year.
I have tried to port CUTE to Windows and most parts are working fine. Indeed I have the most problems with QT rather than with Python. Configuration works exactly the same way as under Linux.
By the way, I use the Non-Commercial Editon of QT for Win32, so it is even legal.

As soon as there is the GPL version available for Windows, I will release CUTE for Windows as well.... read more

As some users have difficulties to run CUTE with QScintilla
as shared object (dynamic library), I explain how to handle it.

You just have to copy or symlink qscintilla/lib/libqscintilla.so to /usr/lib, so CUTE can find QScintilla at start up.

Due to the fact, that this toolkit caused many errors, I replaced it with my own one.

Now projects store cursor position, language and zoom level of files.
The window, having the focus and tagsfiles are also stored in project.
Added project and editing commands sections to handbook.
Bugfix in editing shortcuts.

Project supports now bookmarks.
Reimplemented indentation.
Bugfix in jumping to tags.

Added support for projects.
Projects store files, environment variables, build , compile and execution commands.
It is possible to define one or more configurations(commands and environment), so you can easily switch between them. This is usefull for cross compiling or for defining debug and release configs.
The project feature will be much extented in future.

I have fixed a serious bug in CUTE.
When crateing a tags file CUTE crashed.
To fix it, just insert
tags = 0;
in CUTE::CUTE()

I have made some bugfixes, e. g. grep dialog, finding of tags and grep output were fixed.
Some actions are now temporary disabled.
Added tags dialog, shown when building a tags file.
Added Docbook highlighting.

Added tags dialog, which appears when crateing a tags file. Some commands are made unavailable when they can not be used at the moment.

On sourceforge.net a new forum has been launched for developer.

Some bugs have been found and fixed:
-bugfix in MDI configuration
-bugfix in replace dialog
-improved tag find algorithm (version 0.2.1-1)

Added a tags dockled to CUTE and extended the MDI configuration. It is now possible to choose if a docklet or panel is visible on startup. The user can show/hide a panel with a command.
Many bugfixes were made.

The handbook was corrected by David Hart.
The new version is included in the 0.2.0-1 release.

Thanks to Alban Minassian.

The previous tarball was damaged

For ease of compiling the CUTE source tarball contains the qextmdi and qscintilla source. No configuration of their paths is required anymore.
Only python path and QT path must be set.

added build tags file command;
language configs are now stored in python files and intepreted at start up;
added language config menu;
bugfix in config code generation
