Well, 2.5.3.1 is out (wxPython), and with it, a host of improvements and critical bugs.
The stc is noticiably faster in gtk2, although still laggy.
Which, for linux users, is it. gtk 1 on linux segfaults if you close a dialog. File. Find/Replace. Preferences. Boom. Segfault.
I haven't looked at the windows version yet, but on linux the style dialog looks a bit... odd. Not completely out of wack, just the labels seem to compete for space with the controls.
At least I haven't heard of segfaults outright on windows. No word yet on mac.

It looks like it will be a very simple matter to have plugins grab the version numbers from the sourceforge page. The upside is developers would only have to update the plugin list when they release a completely new plugin. The downside is that is sourceforge is down, users cannot update their plugin lists from the mirrors (unless sf mirrors the project pages too).
I think this is a worthwhile trade off. What do you folks think?

I've posted to the wxPython list with a question about drag and drop. Still no reply, but I am hopeful I am just overlooking something, and can add this in.
Pype comes the closest I've seen to implementing both file/text drag and drop, but only one at a time (you need to restart).

Now that lnk stuff is working, I plan on reworking file dialog prefs. As part of this, I think I will add a replace table. It will basically let people add strings to be replaced when encountered in lnk files. So if your c drive is mounted on /mnt/win_c, then you would add the entry:
'C:' '/mnt/win_c'.
(Notice no separator on the end of 'c:')
Since windows partitions can be mounted on anything, I think this is the best course. Then windows shortcuts will work fine from linux.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
