In Tidy.ini I have:

properconstants=1

I notice that currently Tidy is not settitng up any more proper function names capitalization.

Expand  

ProperConstants does (as implied) propercase variables and proper=1 will do the Functions etc and that seems to be working fine for me.
Please check or else show me some real example with the issue.

Is SciteConfig (Ctrl+1 or Tools > Scite Config)  not working (won't open) for anyone else?

I get the same with the last Beta installer/setup so need to check where that is coming from.

Just uploaded a fix for SciTEConfig.au3 which contained the remains of some debugging which I clearly didn't finish properly, so was still in Development stage and somehow got into this Beta. Will be included in the Installer and portable zip when I am done with the LUA changes currently in progress.

If I understood correctly, you want us to report here, what we find problematic, correctly?

I downloaded for a test
https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/download/beta_SciTE4AutoIt3/SciTE5-with-DynamicFunctions/SciTE4AutoIt3_Portable.zip

When I select Variables or Functions  e.g. Global, from Dropdown and press tab , clipboard overwritten with the word Global

also a visual detail, the active tab, is not brighter in color than it was before

and in the save dialog, I have to put the ending .au3 manually

Correct... as it was discussed in the previous posts and will be removed again!

Was also already mentioned, but I use the Standard SciTE source so is this also an issue in the Standard SciTE version?

as I said above, I tried it with
https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/download/beta_SciTE4AutoIt3/SciTE5-with-DynamicFunctions/SciTE4AutoIt3_Portable.zip

I replaced scite.exe with the ones from the beta (it also asked for SciLexer.dll, I got that too).
The problem with the active tab, as well as the save dialog, is gone

With Standard I mean the latest version release by Neil Hodgson, which is the original!  

... and which save dialog is gone exactly?

I think ioa747 means the problem they were having with the save dialog, namely

is gone.

[ioa747]

  well, the dialog didn't go away, but its problem, which didn't include the ending .au3, by Save As ...

[Jos]

AH ...got it ...  think I know what this issue is. There is a one line mod I've made that I have missed in the latest merge of the original.

This is fixed in the latest SciTEx86.zip & SciTEx64.zip.

Thanks for letting me know.

I had a quick look at this and compared SciTE 4.4.6 with SciTE 5.3.8 and don't really see any difference and 538 looks even a little clearer... what am I missing?

[ioa747]

from:SciTE.exe (4.4.6.0)  

from:SciTE.exe (5.3.8.0)  

 

in both cases I have the tab7 selected

[Jos]

I see for you there is a difference, but I am not seeing that so have no idea where to look. Please try the original SciTE from the https://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html website to see if that looks the same as my version. Only that way we can determine whether my changes are the result of this.

Uploaded a set of new files to https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/download/beta_SciTE4AutoIt3/SciTE5-with-DynamicFunctions/ :

• Updated SciTE to default the file extension to the selected filetype.
• Update the LUA scripts to include the variables of the current file into the AutoComplete Dropdown list when they are set ($ABC = xxxx)

I am planning to have a more thorough review of the AutoComplete and Dynamic include process to ensure there are no unnecessary/duplicate processes happening.

I think ioa747 is referencing a similar problem that I had noticed when I said,

Is there a way to adjust how the tabs look when you have multiple scripts open? This new look is a little hard to distinguish.

Expand  

Although I hadn't noticed the lack of highlighting the active tab.

In original scite 5.3.8, the tabs are easy to read again, and the active tab is highlighted.

So are you saying that the one from  https://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html is correct and my version of SciTE 5.3.8 isn't?
I downloaded it and tested and they both look totally the same.

Sorry, I kind of took over, I should wait and see if ioa747 is truly having the same kind of issues or not. It just seems very similar.

[ioa747]

of these only SciTEx64.zip has a brighter tab

[ ]    SciTE4AutoIt3.exe                    2023-10-02 15:16     6.4M    
[ ]    SciTE4AutoIt3_Portable.zip    2023-10-02 15:16     8.8M   
[ ]    SciTEx64.zip                              2023-10-02 09:39     1.3M    
[ ]    SciTEx86.zip                              2023-10-02 09:39     1.1M    

 

from  https://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html  both 32 & 64,  has a brighter tab

[donnyh13]

I can confirm that using the file from  SciTEx64.zip fixes the tab problem for me too.
