Improving usability and handling for Geany-Plugins
by Dominic Hopf 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi together, in special plugin developers ;) We currently are in the situation, that a user just sees the Geany-Plugins version when reporting bugs [1] but in the plugin manager in Geany just sees the version of the plugin itself. This might be confusing when the user doesn't remember which version of Geany-Plugins he actually has installed. Some plugins already have the same version as Geany-Plugins. This isn't that good anymore when a new plugin arrives in the Geany-Plugins project. Imagine before joining Geany-Plugins the version was 0.0.3 and after joining it directly jumps to 0.21. Here are some alternate suggestions: * change the version string for each plugin, e.g. 0.0.1-gp0.20 * change the text in the description (something like "this is foobar 0.0.1 brought to you by Geany-Plugins 0.20") They additionally would fix another issue which will come up the more plugins Geany will get: Differing between the "provider" of the plugin - was this Geany-Plugins or was it delivered with Geany, or is it a completely other third-party plugin? Maybe someone of you has also suggestions or thoughts on this, please let us know. :) Regards, Dominic [1] https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=222729&atid=1056532 -- Dominic Hopf <dmaphy(a)googlemail.com> http://dominichopf.de/ Key Fingerprint: A7DF C4FC 07AE 4DDC 5CA0 BD93 AAB0 6019 CA7D 868D

tagmanager related questions
by Константин Лосев 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Hello, i am working on improving php parser in geany. Here is my result http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=8137 But i can't understand fully tag system of geany. We have structure: typedef struct sTagEntryInfo { boolean lineNumberEntry;/* pattern or line number entry */ unsigned long lineNumber; /* line number of tag */ fpos_t filePosition; /* file position of line containing tag */ int bufferPosition; /* buffer position of line containing tag */ const char* language; /* language of source file */ boolean isFileScope; /* is tag visibile only within source file? */ boolean isFileEntry; /* is this just an entry for a file name? */ boolean truncateLine; /* truncate tag line at end of tag name? */ const char *sourceFileName; /* name of source file */ const char *name; /* name of the tag */ const char *kindName; /* kind of tag */ char kind; /* single character representation of kind */ struct { const char* access; const char* fileScope; const char* implementation; const char* inheritance; const char* scope [2]; /* value and key */ const char *arglist; /* Argument list for functions and macros with arguments */ const char *varType; } extensionFields; /* list of extension fields*/ int type; unsigned long seekPosition; } tagEntryInfo; Now we have such php code: <?php class test1{ var $abc;var $test; function test567(){ echo "{$a}"; echo '{$a1}'; } } $hello=new test1(); ?> so questions: 1) is i am right that varType of $hello must be test1? so varType is the type of variable? 2) what must be done to be visible for $abc in autocompletion for test1 class? Now i have see autocompletion only for functions of class, not variables. 3) what varType must be for variables in scope? for example class properties. 4) can be access and inheritance be used for autocompletion? for example autocompletion will not shown for private functions. or if inheritance is used for autocompletion?

Patch for JavaScript keywords
by Jason Oster 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Geany is missing some of the newer language features available to JavaScript since about version 1.6. This includes 'get', 'set', and 'yield' [1]. There's also a large gap between the keywords available to JavaScript embedded in HTML/PHP (filetypes.xml) and JavaScript on its own (filetypes.javascript); filetypes.xml contains a large number of keywords, many of which are not just language features, but also objects, and their properties and methods. This just seems incorrect, to me. And I'll admit, the separation between embedded and standalone JavaScript is something of a design flaw in Scintilla. Some might say it's a "feature". I'll just attach a patch that contains all of the additions I've collected over a short (~20 minute) time frame. My primary source is Mozilla Documentation Network, although the ECMA standards are more authoritative. (Not that I even want to make an attempt to read it...) The patch only touches filetypes.javascript, I think filetypes.xml needs a thorough overlooking to determine what needs to go. I've stuck with keywords listed in [1] and [2] for what's really necessary to define in filetypes.javascript. I tried to keep the separation between primary and secondary keywords simple: 'primary' keywords are statements, operators, types, values, and other language constructs. 'secondary' keywords are functions, objects, properties, methods, etc. Note that I have not included functions like alert(), confirm(), prompt(), ... in the secondary keywords, because those are methods of the global window object, and are not a core function in JavaScript itself. Finally, the 'secondary' keywords in filetypes.javascript are unused. This patch fixes it.

Status Plugin Code Navigation
by Conrad Noack 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hello Mailinglist, I'm writing because I am trying to figure out what the current status for the code navigation plugin is. Is there a public code repositor for this plugin? I would be very interested in the 'open file by partial name' functionality. Thanks Conrad

[RFC] Releasing Geany-Plugins
by Dominic Hopf 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hey guys, while talking with hyperair on IRC about the Geany-Plugins release this week, we realized that there we're some small things which could have been better and improved in the release process. I suggested to write the steps down which have to be done and the result is... call it "check list", "guidelines" or "piece of text" or $somewhat Check it out here and feel free to improve: http://typewith.me/i1NkZGwVq5 The idea is to add this text to SVN repository of Geany--Plugins as soon as everyone is okay with it. Let me know if you like it. Regards, Dominic -- Dominic Hopf <dmaphy(a)googlemail.com> http://dominichopf.de/ Key Fingerprint: A7DF C4FC 07AE 4DDC 5CA0 BD93 AAB0 6019 CA7D 868D

Re: [Geany-devel] debugger plugin
by Alexander Petukhov 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

2Dimitar - have fixed bug with empty watch list delete button press and corrected scroll policy. Also eliminated some bugs, but there are many of them there I suppose, nobody have tested it yet. About other comments - preferences is on the way, now figuring out what to put there. Menu is not a problem but not a primary task for me now, I want to do some bugfixing, before starting implementing another functions. About vte, to say the truth, I'm a total lamer in autotools, i'll check this out soon. The name - I realized that this is a little mess - calling plugin so, but I hardly can imagine another sutable name which hasn't been occupied: geanydebug, geanydebugger? If you have any proposals, please write them. What I wanted to ask is has the plugin to be cross-platform? I use some posix specific code now, for interrupting GDB, and probably there will be some work to be done with GDB paths etc. Best regards, Alex p.s. sorrry for previous message, accidentally have sent it from another account -- Alexander Petukhov <Alexander.Petukhov(a)mail.ru>
