Popular Post jaberwacky Posted March 12, 2012 Popular Post Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) SciTE Customization GUI is intended to be your one-stop solution for your SciTE customization needs. With SciTE Customization GUI you can create new themes from scratch without having to touch a single configuration file. Simply select 'Default Theme' from the file menu. This will start you out with a default theme. Then make your changes to the theme. Finally, select 'Save As' from the file menu and give it a name. Or you can select from an already existing theme. You can see live changes to SciTE as you change things around (some settings are not live). You can change various SciTE4AutoIt3 settings such as Tidy, Tools, debug trace messages, etc. I mostly want to try out new ideas which I hope will get used in the official SciTE4AutoIt3. I also wanted to see how large of a program I could script in AutoIt before it become a mass of unmaintable spaghetti. I feel that I am successful in that regard. It is reasonably easy to debug, extend and understand. I feel that this was achieved by employing the Model-View-Controller pattern. I also used AutoItObject which allows me to achieve a level of information hiding which would not have been possible otherwise. I stand on the shoulders of giants so credit where credit is due. Thanks to Jos for the original SciTEConfig. Thanks to Jon for AutoIt. Melba23 for the SciTE Abbreviation Manager and the SciTE UserCalltip Manager. Credits and changelog have be moved to the script. Note: this is not an official script. Jon, Jos or the rest of the AutoIt team do not provide support. That's all up to me.

BrewManNH Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Doesn't work with a non-installed (portable) version of SciTe because it's reading from the registry instead of looking for the environment variable SCITE_Home first. I'll have to try it on my home computer to see how it works, I have it installed there, but can't test on my company computer because AutoIt isn't installed on it, using it from a thumb drive.

Developers Jos Posted March 12, 2012 Developers Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I am fine with people creating more extensive SciTEConfig setups, but just as a pre-warning: I have been making quite some changes to SciTEConfig to avoid the need of updating au3.properties and all changes will now be saved into SciTEUSer.properties (where it belongs). This all will ensure that whenever you upgrade the SciTE4AutoIt3 package, the updates made will stay and you don't require Admin level anymore to make the changes, except for the File Open setting change in the registry. By the way: It is looking nice.

Skitty Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Awesome! only one problem :SWhen I ran the compiled binary under SciTE4AutoIt3 (v2.28) and changed the tidy parameters default to white spaces instead of tab delimiters under SciTE , leaving all the defaults your script had and not touching anything else, I pressed update and got this. Is this expected behavior?Edit: Oh, never mind, I see what's going on now, I hadn't noticed its defaults are set to disable all the 3rd party tools, you just have to check them and click update, my bad!

jaberwacky Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) I don't understand. If it's a bug I want to work on it for sure. It shouldn't disable any tools by default.

Skitty Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I don't understand. If it's a bug I want to work on it for sure. It shouldn't disable any tools by default.Doesn't seem like it, I had just assumed the tool would detect active tool entries and set them to checked under the tools tab, and when I updated the config, I wasn't expecting it to disable all the tools, but as I noticed, it doesn't seem to detect a users current tool configuration and you have to set it manually when first run as it seems. After first run It does detect what tools a user has after it sets them itself, I guess it has something to do with "SciteTools.ini", which came with the download which has all the tools disabled by default.Works great btw.
Skitty Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Ok, problem detected! when I updated the configuration for what tools will appear in the "Tools" menu area, I disabled "Make UDF header", when I re-enable the tool selection, I get an error in the scite console. C:Program FilesAutoIt3SciTELuaTools.lua:73: Tool "AutoItTools.InsertUDFHeader" not found. >Lua: error occurred while processing command

Skitty Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) yep yep, even reinstalled scite a few times to see if it would do it again, and it did, I couldn't figure out what was happening though :/Edit: Forgot to mention I'm using windows 7 x86 if it's of any relevance.

Skitty Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 It seems to work flawlessly on my system now, I see that you even have it detect what tools are active now as well? I'd say this is a very suitable contender for the current scite config tool distributed with the autoit installation, I wouldn't mind seeing this as a tool option under tools. Feature Request: add an option to replace the current scite config tool, this thing is too robust in features not to consider doing so, wouldn't you say? Sadly, I believe it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves, I would say jos should consider replacing the current scite config with this, I mean why not? It has everything it scite config has and more. I'd also like to mention that you should consider making the gui resizable and wider instead of taller, it's not fitting into the screen on my laptop, which I use a lot and I can only see a portion of the contents in the gui unless I attach it to a monitor.

I haven't done anything with the Tools stuff. Nice to know I don't have to now. LOL! I wouldn't want to have to officially maintain this monster. Have you seen the source?It used to be resizeable, so I guess I'll go back to that. It's should just be a matter of uncommenting a few lines.

I remember the last time I tried it, any modifications to the tools options would render the "Make UDF header" option inoperable, but it's not doing it anymore..I've re-installed different versions of autoit since that time, so who knows what might be at play there.. And yeah, I saw the source, turned 360 degrees and walked away, I hate the objects syntax, it's confusing as hell!
wraithdu Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Played real quick, seem to have found some problems. 1) First two tabs, changing options does not enable the Update button. 2) First two tabs, reload does not refresh / reset the options. 3) Theme tab, not recognizing the current font. Edit2: #3 seems to be that you're not picking up both the base font and monospace font, and which is actually active. It would also be nice to import user themes from the standard location, <scitedir>SciteConfig. I'm running Win7 x64, SciTE v3.0.4. Edit: You should also check for user defined Tools in the user properties file (that's where I keep mine). Edited April 13, 2012 by wraithdu
