Hi I see that people start talking about 1.00. This pushed me to writing this post, which is long overdue.
I've been using Padre since the beginning, sometimes with frustration, but it keeps getting better. But there are a lot of things that still bite me. I've put off writing about it, because, well, I thought I'd find time to fix them all. But as I realize that it doesn't happen, at least I'll tell about it. Some, or all, of my items may have been taken care of, and I'm just too stupid to know. But then at least I hope that people will tell me where the features are. Installation - Padre needs threads. Most standard installed Perls are non-threaded. I know about perlbrew, but average Joe Perlguy doesn't. UI - The worst is by far the missing c/p integration between Padre and my OS. I can't just doubleclick on a text in another program and paste it into Padre by singleclicking, or the opposite way around. - Padre doesn't remember my ui settings. I have to readjust the windows every time I start Padre. - Context sensitivity. If I have a text, sql, or html document, why is my precious screen estate occupied by outline, syntax check and whatever I've turned on for Padre to assist me writing good Perl code? Features - Project. It seems there's a concept of project. But it seems that it's just a way of remembering a bunch of files. If you use your time to save and reload. It's just cumbersome. At least give a "load last session" command line option. Perhaps I just can't find the documentation for projects in Padre. - Source code control integration. - Full Screen Debugger Documentation - Some examples: - Debugging. I put it here, but I realy suspect it should be in "missing features". How do I debug a program? A plack based server? - Configuration What does Perl Beginner Mode mean? I can see that if I turn on the autocomplete options, Padre lists a number of suggestions. But what do they mean? How does Padre find them? Modern Perl - I can make a file->new->Perl 5 Module. That starts with 'use 5.006;' Well, why is there no template for a Moose Role or a Moose Class? How about some help for making Plack, an app.psgi, The list is probably not exhaustive. I started a while ago, and lost it. So this is a memory refetch. _______________________________________________ Padre-dev mailing list Padre-dev@perlide.org http://mail.perlide.org/mailman/listinfo/padre-dev
