[SOLVED] Tidy seems to ignore tidy.ini settings for tab

[pseakins]

AutoIt 3.3.14.5 with Scite 4.2.0. In Scite I like to set tab and indent to 2 and have tabchar=2 in tidy.ini.

When I run tidy on my au3 script with ctrl+T, I receive the following message regardless of the values set in tidy.ini. The message can be eliminated by setting tabsize to 4 in Scite, which I don't want..

>Running Tidy (19.1127.1402.0)  from:C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\tidy
---- there is a discrepancy between the ScITE and Tidy settings: -----
>>>           Tidy.ini: tabsize= 4
      SciTE properties: tabsize= 2
---- This could lead to inline comments be wrongly positioned after Tidying the sourcecode

Also have found that changes to tab settings in Scite config Ctrl+1 do not appear to take effect until you restart the app.

Wording and Title. Solved.

It works fine for me when I test with these settings in UserProperties:

tabsize=2
indent.size=2
use.tabs=1

.. and this in Tidy.ini:

[ProgramSettings]
tabsize=2

.. and it does indeed require a restart to take effect.
I think this is an SciTE thing as in SciTE itself you need to press convert for it to take effect.
I do see that Tidy defaults to tabsize=4, which maybe should be to default to the current SciTE setting!

So, when you make these changes you still get the Tidy warning?

Fixed. My Tidy.ini did not have the "[ProgramSettings]" section name so all settings were being ignored leaving Tidy to default to tabsize=4.

After adding the header and assigning the required values I no longer get the Tidy warning. As you say, maybe Tidy should default to the current Scite setting.

Thanks for your help and guidance Jos.

Ah... that explains it.
I have made a small change to Tidy to take the SciTE tabsize when not provided in Tidy.Ini or through the directive in stead of defaulting to 4.
