GeneSys Editor Request

[grofaz]

Syntax highlighting doesn't stick between sessions. Sure would be nice if it stuck.  :wink

Looks great, thanks!

Hi dEbUgGeR,

Thanks for your interest in GeneSys editor. Could you give more information about the issue you are experiencing?

[grofaz]

Yeah sure.

When I customize the syntax highlighting preferences they don't stick between sessions. If I close the Editor and open a new instance of the Editor I'm back to yellow background etc.

It would be nice if custom preferences stuck between sessions. That way I wouldn't have to redo them each time or else have to accept the defaults.

Regards

There are also some spelling errors I'm seeing. This one is from the Build menu. The template.asm file has some errors as well.

How do you use Pelle's tools from the Build menu ? They're greyed out !  :dazzled:

Hi dEbUgGeR ,

When I customize the syntax highlighting preferences they don't stick between sessions.

Thanks for your feedback. It looks like that the editor does not save correctly some preferences. I will talk to Paul about the issues you reported.

Cool!  :U

I was thinking about it and I should be more specific. It's not the syntax highlighting I'm actually on about. It's background, foreground, and font selection that don't stick between sessions. I was referring to all of that generically as syntax highlighting, but that's not really correct. Syntax highlighting actually works fine.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. Mea culpa.

dEbUgGeR,
Yes, there is a problem setting ther background color and having it stay that way. Thank you for the report. I will fix it in the morning.

Setting the background color persists session to session, now. Get the new version from the GeneSys Editor Update topic.

Thanks Paul !  :U

Paul,

I think I may have broken your latest editor update!

I set font to Courier New 11 pt
...... Text color to Green
...... Background color to Black


Everything worked great.

However, I then tried to customize the syntax highlight color for comments from the default value to:

Red 38
Green 140
Blue 254

using the color picker popup when clicking on change button.

And everything went bonky. The editor got real sluggish and would not link my program properly.

I had to reinstall the sdk.

If you need more info, just shout.

[grofaz]

I believe C11 for Comments.

Got to go to work...I'm late...

I'll work on it later tonight. Right now, I have someone hanging on my arm in a VERY insistent way. Must handle the priorities, you know.  :U
