FTP With Novell Servers

Hello, I just started using Komodo 3.5.3, but when I try to open a remote file on one of our Novell servers, I just get "550 Access Denied to "sys/public"". The only thing in the error log is "WARNING: koFTPConnection: FTP LIST ERROR: 550 Access Denied to "sys/public"". Is there away to get more debugging info?

I tried mucking with the source to koFTP.py to see what was going on, but was unsuccessful at getting FTP to show anything in Komodo. Below is a Wireshark capture of the FTP conversation, if it's helpful. I have a similar capture from EditPlus which shows a successful FTP transaction.

error--file conflict installing modules

After updating to release 819, which has the new version 4 of PPM, with GUI interface, I attempted to install several modules. For some of these, which have identical files, I get a message:
ERROR: File conflict; package [name] already provide [path/file]. I don't recall the command-line interface preventing installation of modules due to identical/overlapping files in multiple modules. The modules I'm trying to install are MARC-Errorchecks, MARC-Lint, and MARC-Record. the MARC-Record includes an older version of the MARC::Lint module, and MARC::Errorchecks and MARC::Lint rely on the identical module MARC::Lint::CodeData. After successfully installing MARC::Record and MARC::Errorchecks, attempts to install MARC::Lint result in the error mentioned above, citing */html/site/lib/MARC/Lint/CodeData.html as the conflict.

How do I xecute scripts in tclsh from Komodo?

I am trying to run a script that has no GUI and editing it out of Komodo in a Windows XP OS. I choose Debug/Run Without Debugging and the Debugging Options dialog pops up. I click the "Use default tclsh interpreter" option. But at the top there is an area labeled Debug Configuration with a combo-box in it. There is only one choice there and that is "default" -- I don't know what to do here to add a new configuration so I leave it there. When I click OK there is an alert box that pops up entitled Komodo Alert which says "You must specify the executable used for the debug session". I can't go any further after that. What must I do to get Komodo to run tclsh script? I need to see the output from my puts statements.

Autocomplete brackets and quotes

Hello support-Team,

I've recently bought Komodo 3.5 and now I'm not able to find the feature for auto-complete brackets and quotes (entering "(" will display "()" whith the cursor whithin the brackets). I'm sure the feature will exist - hopefully! Oh, nearly forgotten, I'm coding PHP - if the information is important.

PerlNET and .NET2's System.IO.Ports

I have an existing project that consists of a PerlAPP EXE and a PerlNET DLL which I'm now trying to condense into a single PerlNET DLL. All the EXE really does is sit in a while() loop reading a serial port (using Win32::SerialPort) and stores the data in a Cache::FileCache object which the DLL objects also has access to (e.g. a *very* poor mans IPC hack).

So, I'm looking for a solution so the DLL can collect its own data from the serial port. I can't use the same while() loop design since the DLL needs to respond to other events from the application that has him loaded. Which finally brings me to my actual question.

Indentation frustration

Hi,

Indentation is driving me crazy.

I'm on version 3.5.3, build 262321.

I've set the indentation parameters in the Preferences -> Editor -> Indentation page but no matter what my tab seems to be going to 4 spaces instead of the 2 that I've specified.

I've tried every permutation (well, not EVERY) of the different settings.

Any help?

Thanks,

DY

Creating files with swedish chars

Hi,

I'm trying to create files containing swedish characters(ÅÄÖåäö) in WinXP Pro.

I've tried the following:

open(FILE,">" . encode("utf16le", "åäö-test.txt");
print FILE "test\n";
close(FILE);

I've also tried to using the "Encode" module but I still can't get it to work(also tried ut8, utt16 and ibm850 encoding). Any pointers would be much appreciated. The actual program reads the file names from a SQLite database which uses unicode encoding.
Whatever encoding I chose the filenames look garbled, i.e "¥Ã¶" or "├ò├À".

Many thanks,
Mar

I am having one other problem that, at first happened only once in a while, but is now happening for often than not...

After a while of coding (say an hour or so), the real time syntax checking stops working. The icon in the status bar at the bottom says that says that syntax checking is in progress but there is neither a "check" nor an "X" on the icon (just the open book) and obvious mistakes are not tripping the checker. Like using a new variable in perl without declaring it with "my" while "use strict" is in on and the checker does not catch it. Or, using a bareword in perl or just typing random text on a line, or anything else that is obviously not legal syntax.

How to edit language-specific styling element types

Hi all,
I am trying to get different colors for my Python docstrings (i use """...""" - triple double quotes) than for other strings ("...", '...', '''...''').
For this i guess it would be nice if i could tweak the Element Type list for Python language-specific settings, add a special "docstring" definition there and assign proper coloring.
I guess there is some file that defines these Element Types syntax.

Can anybody help me? thanks, af.
