From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Doug Fraser To: sourcenav@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: SN 5.0 html docs Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 12:59:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2001-q3/msg00137.html Just a small note. Has anyone else noticed that the HTML docs included in the source navigator 5.0 tarball are messed up? Several files are truncated. I am using the 4.5 docs for now, I don't know how much has changed in the docs. Some people might not like them (they are frames based) but they looked slick, for what little bit worked. So far, so good on the tool itself. I thought I might mention the docs here just because perhaps no one else has. I have noticed a couple of editor quirks, but I cannot really characterize them yet. Basically, you can sometimes change a line, and it won't appear as changed, that is, it is colorized in place as you type. When you try to save, there is no 'Save' box (it is grayed) and exiting without saving at that point trashes the file. You can 'save as' or sometimes you can alter another line and get the save dialog back. I brought it up purely for code browsing (I use GVIM) but one of my coworkers is a WinDoze refuge and he missed the editor a lot. However, SN5.0 makes him smile, until it pulls the above trick... This tool does provide a lot of bang for the buck! When I was stuck on WinDoze NT a couple years back, I lived on Visual SlikEdit, and this does many of those things for much less. Another thing, I have a method of collecting file path names into a text file, and a shell script that filters those relative path names into a temp file as full path names and starting source navigator using the created temp file as an import file. It works okay and lets us set up pseudo-projects that can be stored in CVS and shared between developers. If anyone is interested in the shell script I will attach it to the list. Sure, it could have been prettier in TCL, but I don't know TCL..... cheers Doug Fraser
