new user question

Hi guys,
Just tried out Komodo Edit, I have to say I'm impressed.
I have been a notepad++ user for quite sometime now and how grown accustomed to some of the plugins, one in particular the Function List plugin. Is there a similar extension for Komodo which does the same thing as that particular plugin for notepad++? I looked over the extensions earlier, didnt see any or I might have missed it.

PHP autocomplete fails for Exception class while inside a catch clause

When inside a catch clause, autocomplete on the passed Exception class object does not seem to work. But if I explicitly instantiate an exception object inside the catch clause, autocomplete will work for that object, just not for the caught exception object.

The error in the status bar at the time autocomplete should be occurring is:

evaluating 'e' at course_data.php#103: could not resolve first part of 'e' (error determining completions)


<?php
try
{
$for_xml = init_data();
xml_out($for_xml);
}

catch ( Exception $e )
{

Subversion external diff tool

I've been trying to figure out how to setup Komodo IDE to use an external diff tool (WinMerge) but haven't been able to figure it out.

While I can check "Uses external diff tool", I am not able to pick the tool (which it appears you can with Perforce). And when I do the diff inside of Komodo nothing happens (no new window or message).

I've seen this thread: http://community.activestate.com/forum-topic/subversion-diff-using-exter...

I'm am using Komodo IDE 5.2 on Windows XP. Did the above patch get put into this version or didn't it make it in? Any help would be appreciated.

Sometimes can't save files in Komodo Edit 5.2.2

Since upgrading to Komodo Edit 5.2.2, a couple of times it has got in a state where it claims all the files need saving, and if I try to save any files, it says it can't save. I have to exit Komodo Edit, discarding any changes, and reopen. I have now downgraded to 5.2.1. This happened while I wasn't actively using Komodo, possibly related to a Workrave (http://www.workrave.org/welcome/) break.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks

Perlapp extract/path problem

Hi all,

I'm having a path problem with Perlapp's "--bind someFile.txt[extract]" option.

The binding and extraction is actually working fine. I know this because when I run my program, I see it creating a directory in %TEMP% (named pdk-%USERNAME%-%PID%) and extracting all 92 of the bound files.

However, my program doesn't seem to be placing the extracted directory on the path, as described in the PDK User Guide:

Komodo Edit stopped working

Hi,

I have been using Komodo Edit 5 for a couple years without problems. Suddenly yesterday, it just stopped working. I can't get it to open at all or leave me an error message. The only thing that has happened recently was I received an update from Microsoft. I rolled that back and still get nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and can't get any response from the program at all. It seems to be installing correctly, but nothing happens when I attempt to run the program. I have installed 5.2.2 as well and nothing.

Rx Toolkit: Pattern Matching broken (Komodo IDE 5.2.2, Windows XP SP3)

Hi there,

I discovered yesterday that the RX Toolkit has stopped working. Matches in the search text are not detected. The status doesn't change - 'No current data' is what I see now most of the time. The progress icon (or whatever you call that little animated circle next to the stop button) is active all the time.

The syntax checking in the Regular Expression field is still working, though. Unbalanced parentheses, for instance, trigger an error message.

What I've tried so far:

Perl - autocomplete variables?

Is it possible to have Komodo IDE auto complete variable names as I am typing them?

this.URIatline() is not a function (Komodo Edit, version 5.3.0, build 4239)

Problem:

I have some komodo macros that use the OpenURI() method that do not seem to work anymore. One of the error messages being returned is

this.URIatline() is not a function

I am assuming this is due to an API change. Is it possible to get any more information on what I may need to modify to get the macros working again?

Version control for single developer

Can anybody suggest a very simple version control system for a single developer working alone? I have used many in corporate environment environments for 20 years, but I am now working/playing alone with a notebook computer, and don't want or need the admin complexity, or processor overhead. I don't want a server that's always active. I just want the revisions to be reliably maintained and available.
