Command Line Problem with Source Navigator and EditPad Pro

Command Line Problem with Source Navigator and EditPad Pro

[John Smyder]

I just received my license for EditPad Pro Ver. 4.1.3 and I have plans of 
using it with Red Hat's "Source Navigator" version 4.5.2. However, I am 
noticing a small anomaly when setting up the Source Navigator to call 
EditPad Pro in a Windows 2000 environment. When Source Navigator makes a 
call to EditPad Pro it passes the file name and path to open. In Win 98 
this all works perfectly. In Win 2000 EditPad Pro receives only the 
projects root path and not the sub-directory that my C file is in (i.e. 
c:\firware4_2\snacc.c instead of c:\firmware4_2\app\snacc.c).

Like I said this works perfectly in Win 98 and I'm sending this email to 
the Red Hat team too. I'm not sure if the problem lies with EditPad Pro, 
Source Navigator or Windows 2000. But I have my suspicions (windows).

Just thought you might want to know about this behavior.

Regards,

John W. Smyder

I have the same problem with SN and NT 4.0.

Currently we've not done any tested on Windows 2000.  This
may be some sort of W2K Tcl problem.  If it is a Tcl problem
then this may be fixed when we upgrade to Tcl/Tk 8.3.

Currently I don't have a W2K box so I can't look into this.

Well then, that makes it a little easier.

Hi,

So I was looking into this problem, and I've not been able
to reproduce it.  This is probably because the real problem
is going to be completely unrelated.

So, what I really need are step by step instructions on
reproducing this.  It kind of sounds like it's something
to do with path names at creation time, so please include
the steps you use when creating the project (which files
and their path names will probably be important also).

I tried this with notepad and Xemacs.  (Of course I'm
assuming that this is an SN bug.)

Ian.

Something I should have say at the start.

If you set the environment variable SN_DEBUG to
9, and then run Source-Navigator you will get
a log file zznavig01.log (or something like that).

If you grep the log file for the string "Editor command"
you will get the command line of that SN is using
to launch the external editor.
