Using Tidy with other editors

[Danp2]

I've notices a few oddities when trying to use Tidy v23.402.1150.0 with VSCode --

• Error message near the end that states "Unable to restore Folds and Boomarks due to Sessionfile not found:C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\tidyscite.session". When using /SCI=9, I see a message stating "Disable SciTE folds !", so it seems like it shouldn't be attempting to restore the folds / bookmarks.
   
• I have a section of code that looks like this --
   

  #Tidy_ILC_Pos=42
  Global Enum _                            ; https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_doc_readystate.asp
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Uninitialized, _ ; Has not started loading
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Loading, _       ; Is loading
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Loaded, _        ; Has been loaded
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Interactive, _   ; Has loaded enough to interact with
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Complete, _      ; Fully loaded
          $_WD_READYSTATE__COUNTER
  #Tidy_ILC_Pos=0

  Running Tidy from VSCode works correctly on this code as long as an instance of Scite exists. When I run Tidy without Scite being open, then the indentation looks like this --

  #Tidy_ILC_Pos=42
  Global Enum _                            ; https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_doc_readystate.asp
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Uninitialized, _         ; Has not started loading
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Loading, _               ; Is loading
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Loaded, _                ; Has been loaded
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Interactive, _           ; Has loaded enough to interact with
          $_WD_READYSTATE_Complete, _              ; Fully loaded
          $_WD_READYSTATE__COUNTER
  #Tidy_ILC_Pos=0

@Jos Any ideas?

That was a wrong test whether tidy was started by SciTE or not. Should be fixed in the current Beta.

Yea....  it does try to get the tabsize from SciTE and uses that to calculate the number of spaces to use.
In case SciTE isn't running then tabsize=x needs to be set on either the #Tidy_Parameters= /tabsize=4  (/ts=4 ) or  define in tidy.ini the field  tabsize=4 under [ProgramSettings] to set it as default.
I have made some changes in the last Beta version to make this work properly and also set the default to 4 when not defined.

Let me know when you find other issues when ran outside of SciTE as that is not much tested by me!
