Hi,
I'm writing a simple plugin for geany (which I will call LiveDiff)
which allows for having
indicators inside the editor for changed/added/modified lines, which
is updated as you type. The base for comparing
the buffer can be either the version of the file on disk or (which I
will soon attempt to add) the latest version from the git repository,
if the file is versioned so.
This resembles what netbeans does (one something I really liked). So
far it works OK but there are some quirks.
I'm doing this out of spare time so dont expect a pretty serious
commitement to it. I will however make it available on github.
I wanted to ask regarding the ScitillaObject handling. Currently my
plugin needs to define RGBA markers (which are used to indicate the
diff results per-line).
What it is not really clear to me is that there appears to be one
ScintillaObject associated with each GeanyDocument. However, some
messages sent to the ScintillaObject (like changing the margin or
defining markers) appear to be global across all instances (unless I'm
mistaken). Is this so? What would be the proper handling? Is it ok to
repeat the definition of the markers for each editor?
Moreover, I'm not sure how to handle correctly the size of the RGBA
markers since it depends on the font size of the editor. I tried to
set the marker scale using the text_height to image height ratio, but
the marker still appears to be a bit taller than the line and this
creates some visual artifacts.
Hello,
[1] might be of interest for you. It does something very similar.
Regarding your other question, are you talking about the "editor-notify"
signal? Yes, that's not really per-document, I came across this
recently. The solution is to connect to "sci-notify" of ScintillaObject
directly, this will give a proper per-document signal (the
document-specific ScintillaObject pointer). However you need to get the
GeanyDocument pointer elsewhere. See how I did it here[2].
Some might consider this as a defect in Geany.
