I've never used your combination of settings, always sticking to my own sessions.syn. But I see your point of having an additional setup with the default, and still be able to save my own sessions.
So anyway, when I tried, it saved into \AppData\Roaming\SynWrite\(default).syn. That doesn't seem an appropriate place considering that I have portable.ini present in my prog folder.
Should be changed, IMO

Actually, this is not really a bad thing at all. Tells me something went wrong, and if deleted it myself, I don't mind this quick reminder about what I did. What's your preference? SynWrite checking the presence of the file upon startup, and then doing what? Reverting to no project at all?
Borut wrote:Would it be possible that the order of opened tabs follows the order in which project files are sorted (if a project is active).
Raises a litany of questions on a heavy user's setup like mine: I have tabs open from all kinds of sources, some come from the project tree - but even there, I have identical file names (settings.ini. script.js, index.html etc etc) from various folders and subfolders. Then I have tabs I just dragged over from the file system. Some of them placed deliberately between project files. And then I create new stuff on the fly....

To implement your wish, I'd definitely need a switch to keep the old way of First come/First serve, to find my way around. (I also use colored tabs a lot to make sense of, in addition to split panes)

3- Agree with Stefan, and also not simple to do...
1- Ok, defaylt.syn now saves into app folder for portable

1 - Thank you!
2 - Forget it. (My reasoning was: Text files (and a project file) may be on a currently dismounted volume, for instance for security reasons. Therefore I thought it would be better not to show even the name of the project file. But in the meantime I see that the syn.ini is itself very open, so actually the MRU can be seen there too. So, ok, it would be no much difference if an unavailable project file name would not be seen in the program.)
3 - Yes, I see and agree with both of you.

Another question, now regarding named sessions:
I know I can open a stored session explicitly. But, wouldn't it be useful when one could double click a *.syn file in a file manager and SynWrite would start and open that session? [..]

Ha, thanks. For some reason I've always thought the output-panel covers the right sidebar, and the tree-font covers the left sidebar - all of it. Now I know better. :roll:

css files and auto-completion / codehints

Post by kim »

Hi,

First I'd like to compliment the developers of SynWrite for this great piece of software.
I used Notepad++ for editing css, php and html files. Just discovered SynWrite and things like the 'tree structure' of tags, classes, id's, colors in css is very very handy when working with large css files.
One question I do have / something I miss:
When editing a css-file, I can get code-hints / completion when I press CTRL Space. I'd like to get this popup automatically, is this possible? How can I make it work that way?
Or isn't this possible?

Thanks in advance, Kim
