New SciTE4AutoIt3 available with SciTE v2.27

[ProgAndy]

Thanks for your continued efforts Jos.

BTW do you or anyone else know which Scite setting to tweek to force UTF-8 encoding for every new .AU3 file?

I'd rather ask here than mess myself with working settings and have it act strange...

You have to set code.page to 65001

Edit: This affects all files created with File->New in SciTE. If you want the template (ExplorerContext -> New -> AutoItScript) in UTF-8, then just modify the template file and save it as UTF-8.

I guess you mean this:

# Unicode

code.page=65001

#code.page=0

This setting I've recommending myself to every user having issues with non-latin use.

But this doesn't force UTF-8 + BOM encoding for new files, which all default to "Code Page Property".

[ProgAndy]

Ok, this results in UTF-8 without BOM. You will have to write a LUA script I suppose.

I had to check too and found this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/scite-interest@lyra.org/msg03863.html

Thanks for taking the time Jos.

I tried creating the .lua file and adding

-- Set default UTF-8 encoding for any new file

LoadLuaFile("new_as_utf8bom.lua")

following the other loaded lua files (so that it doesn't bark and actually finds the new_as_utf8bom.lua file) but to no avail: it doesn't work.

Well, don't waste more time on this. The trick is just to avoid forgetting switching to UTF-8.

mmm.. tested the LUA script to learn that the OnOpen and OnSwitchFile events do not fire when the New button is pressed.

So the found Lua script doesn't do much.

[jchd]

Thanks again for looking anyway.

[GEOSoft]

I might be remebering this all wrong but it seems to me that Scite >> (File menu >> Open Selected File Name) used to work on any private folders in the registry key/value

"HKCU\Software\AutoIt v3\AutoIt" include. This is no longer the case.

I use a separate foder in @MyDocumentsDir to hold the custom and non-standard UDFs and the files are always found. I just can't open them using that command in SciTe.

Did that change or is my mind finally over the edge?

[Melba23]

George,

Still works for me - I can open standard and personal includes with that menu command (and Alt-I).

M23

[GEOSoft]

Just tested again and it seems it is only failing on one file (so far) and that's WinAPIEx.au3

If you have that file in your personal includes could you please try it?

[ProgAndy]

After I manually added the custom directories to openpath, all shortcuts and menucommands are working.

Edit: Also no problems with WinAPIEx.

George,

Yashied's UDF opens fine for me using either method.

M23

[jchd]

It opens here fine as well.

[Zip]

Does anyone know if CTRL+SHIFT+S saves all folds & bookmarks, with this version ?

I have not been able to do it with any recent scite version, it keeps restyling the document, & I lose all folds & bookmarks.

[GEOSoft]

Thanks M23 and j-c. That one still won't open for me. I just downloaded a fresh copy yesterday and I've seen idiotic things like this before so i'll do a system restart and see what happens.

If that doesn't fix it then I'll just put it down to Jos uploaded a broken version just for me. What a guy, he always gives me such special treatment.

[GEOSoft]

I finally got around to a restart and lo and behold SciTe tells me that it can't find the file and yet it will call the functions fine and it doesn't error out if I run the script.

Next step is boot into 7 and see if I still have the issue in there because the registry points to the same location. If I still have the problem then Jos broke it just for me because he likes to give me special consideration.

@GEOSoft

Have you updated the

openpath.$(au3)

and

openpath.beta.$(au3)

variables either in au3.properties or SciTEUser.properties? The scripts to open the include files and jump to function definitions use those variables, not the registry key.

Edited July 22, 2011 by wraithdu

[GEOSoft]

Thanks.

I'll have a look at those as well. It's probably au3.properties. I've had path issues with that one before.

[GEOSoft]

actually those paths seem to be right but they are for the Standars UDFs only. My issue is with the Personal UDFs that are in another folder and the only place I know that stores that is the registry. I still haven't gone to W7 to see what is happening in there.

[ProgAndy]

You have to add the UDFs to the variables:

openpath.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\include;D:\Dokumente\AutoIt3\UDF
openpath.beta.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\beta\include;D:\Dokumente\AutoIt3\UDF
