Getting Komodo to remember the Debugging Options fields

OS: All / Any | Product: Komodo | tags: debugger options directory
Question: 

Every time I debug the same file, I have to re-enter the
directory in the Debugging Options field. How can I get
Komodo to remember it?

Answer: 

This is due to bug http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=80940,
in which Komodo uses the project's specific configurations, rather
than the "global" ones associated with each file.

The usual workaround is to make sure that you select a different
project, so the active project doesn't contain the file you're
trying to debug.

Usability: the indentation settings in Komodo are broken

OS: All / Any

Hello Komodo developers and users,

I've been using Komodo (Edit) for a while, around two years i think, and i'm still bummed by the way Komodo handles indentation and the preferences for that. Actually, i'm now more puzzled/frustrated than ever as i've been working on several projects with different coding practices (including two different practices for HTML files and HTML-based templates).

Issues aplenty with HTML and CSS syntax checking

OS: All / Any

This is a bit long; please bear with me if you're interested in the subject and/or are a Komodo developer. :)

Background syntax checking can't be turned off for a language

As a default, Komodo has HTML syntax checking and (some) WAI conformance checking using Tidy, and CSS syntax checking using… hum, something else/a generic mechanism.

One problem is that those syntax checking implementations have some false positives, which makes it hard to distinguish real errors from the rest. More on that later.

Multiple commands at once

OS: All / Any

Hello.

Is there a way, without using batch files, for me to run a list of commands with one single click in "Run command"?

I mean something like:

cd foo; type a1.txt a2.txt >a.txt; type a.txt

How to update an extension in the extensions section?

OS: All / Any

A stupid question: how do I update my SciViews-K extension to the latest version in the Komodo -> Extensions section? I did not put it there (but I am happy that someone else did), but now, I would like to upload a new version there.
Thanks,

Philippe

SWF in Komodo browser preview

OS: All / Any

Thanks to this post (http://osdir.com/ml/ide.komodo.general/2006-04/msg00032.html) I can now open *.swf files inside komodo 5.1.

All I had to do was to copy the necessary flash library to the komodo mozilla plugin directory.

/Komodo-Edit-5/lib/mozilla/plugins

In ubuntu the responsibe file is called libflashplayer.so. If you have already installed the flash plugin, you'll most likely find this file here

/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin

or here

/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer

Editing Style Sheets

OS: All / Any

I am an extreme novice and just starting to use Komodo Edit 5.1. I am trying to edit an XSLT file and but when I open it as an XSLT file and with XSLT as the language selected, it just loads as a string. Selecting 'Reflow Paragraph' just applies a type of word-wrap. Does KE5 provide any formatting to make the editing easier?
Thanks

Break when variable is changed

OS: All / Any

Forgive the dumb question, but I really can't work out how to do this ...

Is it possible, using the 'Conditional' breakpoint settings, to break whenever a variable is changed, rather than on a specific value?

Run without installing

OS: All / Any

Is it possible to run Komodo Edit without installing it?

I want to run Komodo from a network location via physical workstations with XP/Vista/Win7 or from VM's running XP.
