multiple script editor possible?


Recommended Posts

I want to develop several scripts at the same time but it seems that I can't open several SciTE4AutoIt3's. Is there any workaround? Although there can be several EXEs to run at the same time, the scripts being debugged and tested can't be done in this way because I don't know what lines go wrong when problems occur.

cwem,

To open multiple instances of SciTE, use the 'Options - Open Global Options File' menu option. Once the 'SciTEGlobalProperties' file is open, look for the line "check.if.already.open=1" - it is line 105 for me. Add a '#' at the start of the line and save the file. Now SciTE will open a new instance when you select a new file to edit from an external program (such as Explorer). If you use the 'File - Open' menu in a currently running instance of SciTE, you will get the selected file opening in a new tab as before.

Each instance of SciTE can run a separate script as you require.

I prefer you copy that line into the SciTEUser.properies and modify it there.

This will override the default and will not be overridden with the next upgrade of SciTE4AutoIt3.

I'm using this version:

SciTE4AutoIt3

Version 1.77

Dec 24 2008 09:01:19

by Neil Hodgson.

Updated: Valik & Jos

None of any Option files contains any lines in it and so I'm unable to locate SciTEUSEr.properties. If I edit another script by right clicking it and then edit, the currently opening sci editor will create another tab and therefore I'm unable to run 2 scripts at the same time

Jos,

I presume that you would advise me to copy the lines I have changed in Global.properties (position.left, position.top, visible.policy. etc) to User.properties as well? I can see the usual "DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING" lines scattered around - anywhere in particular in the file?

Its up to you to make the changes where you want but anything you change in au3.properties will get lost with the next update.

Not sure I want the DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING warning in it but could put something in it that warns about the chnages being lost with next update.

Sorry but I can't see anything (i.e. blank option files), so what should I do in order to develop multiple autoit scripts? I don't want to buy multiple computers :o

Correct, SciTEUser.properties is empty when opened the first time.

Add the parameters you want to change to it, in this case:

check.if.already.open=0
