Development Version 2.0.7.688 has been released to SourceForge.

Changes are:

1. Added Rename shortcut to project context menus (you can already rename using the two clicks convention)
2. Added $(ProjectProp:*) and $(FileProp:*) tools shortcuts, these retrieve values from project item configurations
3. Added alpha settings for line highlight, new default colour to make use of alpha
4. Added option to disable folding
5. New code templates feature (try typing �if� and then Edit->Insert Template in c/c++)
6. Now supports custom ctags tagger definitions (see in taggers\ctags directory)
7. Added Open Containing Folder, Open in Default Folder and Copy File Path to various context menus
8. Text clips now cached in user settings directory to avoid user needing to change files in install path
9. New extensions method pn_get_extension_info, new options page showing loaded extensions
10. New extensions types for passing strings safely with stored allocators

Bugs Fixed:

1. Line numbers toggle not updated when default (SF Bug #1729577)
2. File corruption with utf-16 files > 65536 characters (SF Bug #1741342)
3. Some php keywords only being matched in uppercase
4. Tabs/Spaces override changes don�t save (SF Bug #1632540)

Hi Simon.

There seems to be a problem with ctags - it wont show anything.

sorry. I meant the window. Nothing shows up in the ctags window.

Which distribution did you download?

Did you copy/install over a previous release?

Does it work if you run pn --findexts and then try again?

Thanks.

Hi Simon,

I've noticed the same problem...

As you have suggested, I have just tried a clean install and running pn --findexts, but the tags window is still not displaying anything. (I have not yet installed PyPN, is this necessary for this issue?)

I realise that this release allows custom tag definitions to be defined, does this mean that tags for previously supported languages (e.g. C/C++) must be defined in a similar manner? or should they already be supported internally by PN?

Thanks very much for your help.

Hi Simon,

I have the same problem. My config.xml is the following:

<config>
<extension path="Taggers\ctagsnavigator.dll"></extension>
<extension path="pypn.dll"></extension>
</config>

I tried to comment out the PyPN extension, it does not affect the ctags extension.

The problem is that no tags are created, either for native ctags (.c) or additional (.ini).

- When I rename the "taggers/ctags" directory, it works of native ctags (of course, not for additional...)
- When I rename additionalLanguages.conf, it works as well
- When I rename additionalSupportedSchemes.ini, it still does not work.

So the problem apparently comes from additionalLanguages.conf... is there a way to retrieve errors from ctags.exe ? What is the external command-line executed to get the ctags symbols?

regards,
Lionel

Run

ctags.exe --options=taggers\ctags\additionalLanguages.conf --list-languages

from the base pn directory.

It should list the supported languages, and "properties" should be in the list, if "additionalLanguages.conf" is working properly.

If things are broken (as they seem to be), this command should show the errors.

Example:

D:\portable-pn207688>ctags.exe --options=taggers\ctags\additionalLanguages.conf --list-languages

Hi rjmyst3,

I have just tried the command you suggested. Unfortunatly it didn't show any errors.
The output was exactly as you have displayed in your example...

I have now also renamed "taggers\ctags" as earlier suggested by chickenkiller. That has fixed the problem for native tags...

Thanks you both for your help,
Griff

I confirm what Griff said. No errors here. Does that mean that ctags works perfectly, and the problem comes from the interface to ctags within PN? I would tend to say yes...

try this in the root pn directory:
```
ctags.exe --options=taggers\ctags\additionalLanguages.conf C:\Path\To\File.ext
```
where C:\Path\To\File.ext is the path to a file that should be taggable. A plain text file named "tags" should be created in the root pn directory. Open that file - it should be a list of all the tags found.

Does the file path contain any non ANSI characters?
What is the encoding of the file?

Hi rjmyst3,

I just created a very simple test file comprising of a couple of functions, global variable and some definitions and run:

ctags.exe --options=taggers\ctags\additionalLanguages.conf c:\projects\test.c

I have no idea of what I should be seeing so have posted the contents of the tags file below.

!_TAG_FILE_FORMAT 2 /extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to lines/
!_TAG_FILE_SORTED 1 /0=unsorted, 1=sorted, 2=foldcase/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR Darren Hiebert /dhiebert@users.sourceforge.net/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME Exuberant Ctags (PN2 Edition) //
!_TAG_PROGRAM_URL http://ctags.sourceforge.net /official site/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION 5.6 //
FOUR C:\Projects\test.c 14;" d file:
ONE C:\Projects\test.c 11;" d file:
THREE C:\Projects\test.c 13;" d file:
TWO C:\Projects\test.c 12;" d file:
calc_sum C:\Projects\test.c /^void calc_sum()$/;" f
main C:\Projects\test.c /^int main(void)$/;" f
print_value C:\Projects\test.c /^void print_value(int value)$/;" f
sum C:\Projects\test.c /^int sum;$/;" v

Thanks,
Griff

Hey!

I found where the problem comes from.

I've been tracing PN execution using procmon (check out sysinternal.com, wonderful tool) and I found the execution command-line for ctags. When the path to additionalLanguages.conf is found, here it what is appended to the command-line:

--options=C:\Program Files\Programmer's Notepad\Taggers\ctags\additionalLanguages.conf

There are no double quotes embracing the path! I've not made the test but I bet that if I put PN in, say, c:\pn2 directory it will work fine...

The code to change is in ctagsnavigator.cpp, line 124:

replace

m_optionsParam = L" --options=";
m_optionsParam += path;
m_optionsParam += L" ";

by

m_optionsParam = L" --options=\"";
m_optionsParam += path;
m_optionsParam += L"\" ";

and here we are. It's a common mistake after all... Can you correct it Simon ?

regards
Lionel

Well done Lionel, I had just come to the same conclusion myself and was about to test it! I'll get it corrected and get an update out.

Wow, I should've thought of that on the first pass.
Good work guys.

Ok, I have an updated ctagsnavigator.dll available from here:

http://pnotepad.org/files/ctagsnavigator.zip

This change will be in the next release, I'm not going to respin 688 for now as I hope to release the stable build in the next couple of days.

Hi.
In version 2.0.7.688 can not insymbol, different from latin (more exactly - russian symbols). The Text carried in other editor, is displayed correct, but entering with keyboards does not work - Abracadabra.
Has Tried different "Character Sets" - same result.
In version 2.0.7.680 all OK.

Andre.

Cyrillic input totally not working.
Instead of '?' i get '1'; '?' -> '2' and so on; "0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDE" is what I get when I type alphabet.
It does work in search box, and in other text fields, but not in the main window, and not in output window.

Noko: has this ever worked in previous versions?

Andre: That's very strange, I'm not sure what changed between 680 and 688 that could have affected that, possibly the Scintilla build. I'll have to check.

Yes, everything worked fine in previous version.
Andre actually has the same problem as me.

Simon:

I am using v2.0.8.718, and the problem with ctags seems to have reappeared: no tags when calling the alt-g box (fortran source). I have replaced ctagsnavigator.dll with the one you said above, and also does not work. Both tests suggested by rjmyst3 gave no errors.

Hi Guillermo,

Are there any tags in the tag browser? Can you try running ctags manually on the file from the command line and attach the output to a bug here:

http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/entry

Just run: ctags your.file

Thanks,

Simon.

Ah, I wonder if this is a difference between working on fortran/fortran77 code - which scheme are you using?

Hi. Thanks. There were no tags in the tag browser. I will post the result tomorrow (I'm at home now). But earlier I tried rjmyst3's suggestion: ctags.exe --options=taggers\ctags\additionalLanguages.conf C:\Path\To\File.ext. This actually produced an output file with tags in it. And his other suggestion (ctags.exe --options=taggers\ctags\additionalLanguages.conf --list-languages) produced no errors, and an output like he showed.

I was using Fortran95. But I edited a small test and set it to Fortran77, and also an empty box of no tags.

Good night,

Guillermo

Hi. I have posted the output of ctags myfile.f on code.google.com:
http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=12
as well as a screen capture of PN.

I think it should be fixed if you get this new build of ctagsnavigator.dll:

http://pnotepad.org/files/ctagsnavigator.zip

Let me know!

Indeed, Simon, that new dll solved the empty ctags box problem. Many thanks!
