Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tony Balinski (ajbj) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Empty $file_path Initial Comment: When you start NEdit without a particular file, you get a document labelled "Unknown". It is created without a file path, which can be a big problem if you execute macros from it using $file_name. This is easy to fix in function EditNewFile() in file.c, where window->path is assigned: strcpy(window->path, defaultPath ? defaultPath : ""); Instead of "", call GetCurrentDir() (in util/utils.c). On Unix/Linux/Posix/Cygwin you'll need to add a "/" to that, since that's how file paths are normally terminated in NEdit. (On VMS, I expect this is not necessary, but I don't have such a system to play with. I don't know about other file path conventions on other systems.) Having made the change results in a correctly assigned $file_path value for these documents. This path is visible in the statistics line (if you use that), another useful feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-03-11 11:16 Message: Logged In: NO My key is: 1) should a "untitled" file have a path? 2)If you think it should, then apply the mentioned fix and make the same path can ALSO be seen on the window title. 3)If you think it shouldn't, then we can think about another fix and keep the concept that an "unititled" file doesn't have a path as it is not a real file. You can choose either 2 or 3, but you can't mix them! As far as that you mentioned an "untitled" file has a (strange) path attached (with the current nedit), this is a bug and we should fix it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bert Wesarg (lebert) Date: 2008-03-11 10:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=122956 Originator: NO It is currently possible to have an Untitled document/tab which have a path attached. so this bug closes only a gap, that not all Untitled documents have a path attached. If you don't know this: start NEdit with an file argument, be sure you see the stats line, than open a new tab, you will see that this new untitled tab has a path attached. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-03-11 10:34 Message: Logged In: NO I think maybe it is better to have a more complicated fix other than breaking the logicality and consistency with a simple fix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bert Wesarg (lebert) Date: 2008-03-11 10:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=122956 Originator: NO Than feel free to open a new bug report. this bug affects only the first Untitled document, if you start NEdit without a given file name. New Untitled documents if other files are open, has already a path attached. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-03-11 10:12 Message: Logged In: NO I think logically if there is a path, and if it can be shown in the statistics line, why can't it be shown on the title? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bert Wesarg (lebert) Date: 2008-03-11 09:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=122956 Originator: NO The path in the window is not shown, because an Untitled document has no real filename and NEdit prevents than to show the path. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-03-11 07:49 Message: Logged In: NO By calling GetCurrentDir() you can have the path visible in the statistics line but not in the window title (even if you choose to show it). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bert Wesarg (lebert) Date: 2008-03-04 10:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=122956 Originator: NO Great, I noticed this too, while we both discuss your relativeFileNormalization patch, but haven't time to look at this. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=111005&aid=1907176&group_id=11005 -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
