Hi April, Thanks for the response. Sorry, I should have provided more info. I'm using Linux 2.4 x86 with GTK+ 1.2 and SciTE 1.66.
Yes, SciTE will pop-up a little window saying "Cannot open file". This happens if the file resides inside a VOB directory (in the ClearCase virtual filesystem), even if the file is not a ClearCase-versioned file. In other words, I could do a 'touch newfile.txt" and then try to open it and SciTE will fail. If I move the file out of the ClearCase directory (e.g. 'mv newfile.txt ~') everything works fine. Hope this helps. Is it possible that SciTE issues a 'stat' or 'df', notices that it is dealing with a virtual filesystem, and then panics?

Has anyone else encountered problems with SciTE and text files > in a ClearCase directory? I use ClearCase (unknown version) at work and I've never had problems. In fact I now use a tool menu batch file to check out and in documents. Sometimes a drive letter is desolved into the UNC mapping and some of the batch files complain. I've manipulated VB .frm, .sql, .bat, .txt, and probably countless others. When you say "SciTE will refuse to open it" does it raise an error? Oh, Windows or Linux? I'd guess Windows, unless there is a ClearCase for Linux. More input... :-) April -- Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day in my underwear in the Hollywood Cafe. Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom. _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
