Just wondering how stable the 5.3.0 nightlies are?

I like to run the bleeding edge, just so I can raise any issues and generally help out the cause by testing.

But obviously I have to get my work done at the same time. So for the moment I've been sticking with the 5.2.0 release, to give 5.3.0 some time to solidify.

So I'm just wondering if it's still too early to move back to the nightlies track ...

If I select a block of text in the editor containing [[%tabstop:Something]] and save as a snippet then the snippet contains
[[%%tabstop:Something]] and does not work. (But if [[%tabstop]] is presented as part of the name of the snippet a second % is not inserted there, only in the snippet body.)

Here Komodo is doing more than I asked it to - I said 'Please save my snippet' and it said 'OK, and I will edit it for you as well!'. In my experience such helpfulness is rarely helpful :-)

We've just released the first beta of Komodo 5.2.0:

A bunch of improvements have been made to make Komodo a better, more stable and faster editing machine:

Try it out for yourself and let us know your findings.

Just a suggestion, but can we have it so when opening a new file window, it opens next to the currently active file, rather than at the far right (like the Chrome browser tab approach).

Chances are when I'm opening a new file, it's something to do with the one I'm working on. I don't want to have to go chasing half a mile across 70+ open file windows and drag it all the way back to where I'm currently working.

Looks like we have PHP variable sorting issues crept back into the 5.2 beta. I'm running:

Komodo IDE, version 5.2.0-beta1, build 33645, platform win32-x86.
Built on Fri Sep 04 08:37:03 2009.

The top level sorts OK (except $this is now at the bottom of the list instead of the top). But arrays / objects no longer have their values sorted.

I see the latest 5.2 betas have no PowerPC build available; is PowerPC support being dropped?

I just tried installing Komodo IDE 5.2.0 Alpha 1 on Max OS 10.6 and it fails. When I load the app, the toolbar is messed up, I can't create files and I can't quit... Let me know if I can provide logs and such.

It hang when I was trying to open a file.

version 5.2.0-beta1, build 33349, platform win32-x86

I am running Komodo IDE 5.2 beta 1 right now, and in the beginning of a session (while code intelligence isn't ready yet), I get the following message in the status bar: "This buffer is configured with 486 PHP import dirs: this may result in poor completion performance".

Where are these 486 dirs located?
Why does Komodo think it has to import all of them?
Is 486 really big enough to significantly impact performance?

I've only tested it with Mac OS X, but presumably it's in all versions of Komodo IDE 5.2.0 alpha.

When debugging XSLT, the Step Over debugger action performs a Step Into rather than a Step Over. Step Into and Step Out both work fine.
