I bought as new netbook as y notbook is broken and now I am sing the Windows 7 that came with it. This is the first time I use Win 7 and the first time for a long time that I plan to use Windows as my primary OS on a machine. I think I am cuious how Win 7 works and how it is to work on Windows. I still have my desktop running Ubuntu and if things work out I might even buy a Mac but that's another story.
So I got the machine a couple of hours ago, downloaded and installed the Stand Alone Padre. Surprisingly it still calls itself "Strawberry Perl plus Padre" while I think we discussed we'll use the name "Padre stand alone". I'll have to check as I don't remember exactly what did we decide. Anyway it installed fine and I could launch Padre fine. As my Windows decided it wants to be a Hebrew Windows Padre was also launced in Hebrew. I am not sure if I am happy about this or not but anyway. The first issue I encountered was that the menues don't fit in the screen. They are just too long. I get a small button that I can use to show the rest of the menu items but that's less conveninets. So while such small screens (10.1") are usually not used to develop code but I think we should still make sure the menues fit. At least when a reasonable resolution is used. What do you think? The second thing I noticed is that we don't have a simple way to list all available plugins and to install them. So what do you think about adding this capability either to the plugin manager or as a separate window? The plugin manager could list all the available plugins - fetched from CPAN - and could have a button "Install plugin". We could even provide the documentation of each plusing so they can be seen even before the plugin is installed. The "insdtall plugin" would call the cpan installer. Later we can extend this to use other repositories with PAR based packages. regards Gabor _______________________________________________ Padre-dev mailing list Padre-dev@perlide.org http://mail.perlide.org/mailman/listinfo/padre-dev
