Sorry about being distant from the forum for a while (I have been available on mail though). Lots of family responsibilities and a need to really dig into the code made me take some time out to focus 100% on coding.

Here is the result... a total rewrite of the bundle editor, with all the editor features directly available for editing bundle items. This should make it a lot easier to create and share your own bundles.
  • All new bundle editor! You can now edit the bundle items directly in the editor with all basic features available (syntax highlighting, snippets, undo history, etc..).

  • Hold down shift when selecting an item from the bundle menu and it will open directly in the editor.

  • From the context menu in the bundle pane you can now export full bundles and individual items for easy sharing.

  • Added syntax for MSDOS batch files (.bat).

  • Lots of minor bugfixes.

Thank you for the update. The Bundle Editor is really cool!

One little bug that was here last release and is still here, FILE > OPEN REMOTE FOLDER > Then try clicking the "X" button to close the window. It doesn't work.

Thanks again for the update!

Very nice addition!

I encountered the following problem:

To reproduce:

1. Activate the bundle editor
2. Close the bundle editor

Result:

1. Can't reactivate the bundle editor in the current session.
2. No matter if I close or open the bundle editor, it is always there again if I restart e.

hello, i tried the new version 1.0.27. the editor is stable or unstable like as the last version 1.0.23 i used, once a while the editor crashes. but that is not the biggest problem.
after i save my documents with ctrl-s there is modal popup saying "x errors / y warnings". this popup is even modal in windows and shows up before any other application. with this poup open, its not possible to use shortcuts like ctrl-c and ctrl-v. this popup only disappears when i click with the mouse in the editor and the copy & paste shortcuts are working again...
how can i disable this annoying popup?

  • You can open the new bundle editor by clicking on the menu, but if I press the key combination (Ctrl+Shift+B) the old one gets opened.

  • The bundle manager seems a bit unstable, and crashes E almost every time I use it, but at no particular point. Basically I like trimming down my E when I install a new version, and just leave the few bundles I know I'm going to use right away (Python, Django, HTML, XML, Javascript, and a few more). But so far in this release I've had to delete a bundle, then exit the manager, then come back and delete another, etc. if I want to make sure they get deleted.
[/list]

Oh, and BTW, I'm really liking this new release. If it proves to be as stable as 1.0.20, I think it'll replace that Smile

Yes! that's a pain in the arse. Let me guess, you are editing Javascript files, right?

That is the default "jslint" key combination, so every time you save jslint gets executed and gives you a quick diagnostic on your code. You can disable it form the bundle editor -> Javascript Tools -> Validate Syntax Quick, and set the Key Equivalent to something else (I set mine to Ctrl+Alt+S).

Hope that helps!

I also found the JSLint popup exceedingly annoying at first but when it started saving my ass time after time I quickly fell in love with it. As I currently do a lot of heavy JS development I find this invaluable for making sure I don't have any stray commas (which will work fine in Firefox but really bite you in IE), or syntax mistakes.

Seeing the report (almost) immediately after saving saves so much time trying to find that pesky syntax error later, especially if your project has hundreds of JS files.

I'm not being cheeky here, but did you notice it loads the bundles as a "project" in the project pane? At first I didn't notice and was expecting E to open a "Bundle Editor" window. Press Ctrl+P to show the project pane.

Editing in the main editor window--hooray!! This was always a pet peeve. How funny to have to edit in a crippled window inside a powerful text editor!

This is better than TextMate. Maybe TextMate will copy e in this respect for Version 2.

Well done!

Thank you very much. That helps a lot!
But I am still not fully satisfied with "e", it crashes to often. Maybe I will try cream/vim a second time.

The new bundles editor is remarkable. Insightful, elegant and well executed. Nice work Alexander. Much appreciated. Very much appreciated, in fact.

Very Happy
