I know I can get Dreamweaver. But I am looking for something that is oriented for developers and not so pricey and complex.

I am using a Mac and would like to see if there is anything that I can use in conjunction with Komodo.

Basically to do an initial layout using GUI tools with drag and drop, then write/include PHP and Javascript pages for the backend code.

I would appreciate some suggestions.

Most of the other editors I have used include a "Go to Resource" or "Go to Symbol" feature that is similar to the Go to file feature that is currently in Komodo IDE 5.1. Is there such a feature in Komodo?

I'm not talking about the go to declaration that you can do when over a function call in the source, but a small popup window that has a single field where you can type a class, method, constant, or whatever type of resource in, and it will take you to the place where it is defined in the file that contains it.

in this post Morten Bjoernsvik asks how to change the interpreter used to debug a perl script.

Eric answers: 'You need to change Prefs|Languages|Perl|Interpreter' ..

Unfortuately that dialogue does not allow me to browse/point to the interpreter on my Mac (OS X 10.5.latest), since the OS hides the path (/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.10/bin/perl) from me. No admin privileges.

Is there a way to enter the path to the binary manualy, not clicking for the path?

I have created a project template and saved in ~/library/application support/komodoide/5.1/templates/my templates. When I try to create a new project with this project template and I click the Open Template Folder button nothing happens and my project template is not available anywhere.

I have looked in the preferences dialog several times to see if there is something I need to set but, if it's there I'm not seeing it.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I am trying to set Komodo 5.1.3 to use ActivePerl 5.10, which has installed into /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.10. When I go to the Preferences window in Komodo and try to set the path for Default Perl interpreter, the browse window that comes up does not allow me to navigate to /usr. The only options are Find on path or /usr/bin/perl. How do I set this up?
Thanks,

Today I find myself brushing off my Python/Django "skills" (a bit rusty is an understatement) and have decided to change tack slightly from how I used to develop...

I used to run Django, Postgres and Komodo all on my MacBook Pro. Now I'm attempting to put the Django and Postgres elements on a Debian virtual machine also running on the MBP. But there's a problem...

Komodo Edit appears to be ignoring my indent settings. Changing them to different values has no effect, after closing / reopening file and quitting / relaunching KE.

My settings:

Editor->Indentation
Auto-Indent Style: Use Smart Indent
Allow file contents to override Tab settings: UN-checked

For both general and language specific:

Prefer Tab Characters over spaces is UN-checked
Number of Space per indent: 2
Width of Each Tab character: 1

Restarted Komodo Edit.

I use OpenKomodo on OS-X Leopard. My installation just notified me an update was available (5.1.3) and offered to download and install it. No problems were reported during the download or install, yet when I clicked on the "restart Komodo" choice, nothing happened. I tried to start it manually, still nothing happened. Restarted the Mac, still Open Komodo won't start.

The update has killed my existing installation. I'm sure I can get it going again by reinstalling it from scratch, but this "upgrade" process needs to get fixed or removed completely.

I need to get Komodo to recognize the version of Python I have now installed (version 2.6.2) via python.org instead of the default 2.5.1 version that comes with the OS. When I type python at the prompt, 2.6 starts as it should, but Komodo continues to use 2.5 instead.

Any ideas?

Thanks...

UPDATE:

Oops... already found it... had to go to Preferences... Languages... Python and chose /usr/local/bin/python instead... all fixed.

maybe that will help someone the next time they search.

It appears that Komodo is trying to ssh directly to sites to scp the file I'm trying to remotely debug. Unfortunately, that is firewalled off - we are required to use socks. "ssh" from the command line works for me - using .ssh/config, there is a ProxyCommand that integrates with the socks tunnel I have set up.

Is this because Komodo is using its own SSH instead of the system's?
