Interesting.. let's see!

Hi Unia, have you tried Emendo? It is written as fun experiment and to get some experience in Vala, you can suggest improvements if you want
Cheers.

Unia · 2013-09-16 12:01:44

Well, it looks a bit barebones and search etc are not implemented. Also, have you considered proper tabs?

What other features are on the todo list?

Really great small thing!! Just the way all programs should be - clean, small, fast and nice looking
One question - how to define own source view styles? eg. for highlighting PKGBUILD

simargl · 2013-10-03 17:04:45

Thanks, nbvcxz

You can install gtksourceview3-pkgbuild from AUR to get PKGBUILD highlighting.

To set different style open file /etc/emendo/emendo.ini,

and change style=kate

to some of those from /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles

nbvcxz · 2013-10-03 17:33:29

Sweet - this is what I need. Thumbs up !! One "bug" I noticed - but probably not in emendo but gtksourceview3: it can't display MicroDVD text files (subtitles)

Version 1.0

- added per-user settings support:
config directory is $HOME/.config/emendo - if doesn't exist it will be created,
config file is $HOME/.config/emendo/emendo.ini - if doesn't exist it will be copied from default settings location /etc/emendo/emendo.ini,

- when program is closed it will write current: window width, window height, font and style to user settings file,

- added font chooser dialog.

simargl · 2013-10-14 09:26:25

- version 1.0.5
Drop Gtk.Stock (deprecated in GTK+ 3.10)

simargl · 2013-10-24 21:03:33

Version 2.0.2

use Gtk.HeaderBar widget for main window and other dialogs (where possible), requires Gtk 3.10

simargl · 2013-10-26 15:20:20

* 2.0.3 *
- Added Preferences dialog
- use ColorSelectionDialog instead of ColorChooserDialog

for comparison
http://valadoc.org/#!api=gtk+-3.0/Gtk.C … tionDialog
http://valadoc.org/#!api=gtk+-3.0/Gtk.C … oserDialog

If you had Emendo already installed, before starting new version remove configuration directory $HOME/.config/emendo.

I can see that you still improve this little thing which is very very nice. My ask (because I don't know how to add request at bitbucket) - please add configuration for 'tab' and 'half-tab' working (lets say as in mcedit). Now the tab is 2 x space and is not configurable. Thumbs up for great project!

simargl · 2013-11-16 14:05:31

nbvcxz,

thanks for your suggestion

Version 2.1.5 changes

use Gtk.Stack in Preferences dialog,
add option to select Indent width, and
checkbutton to set Insert spaces instead of tabs

I've recently update my version of your editor and be surprised it switch from gtk3 to gtk2, why you have taken this decision?
I used to love your perfect designed gtk3 gui, so in gtk2 it loose all his acctractive to me :-/
