I did check the bug/feature tracker, and most issues I have are already there, but with a low priority.

Here's an example without, and with candy : listeEtageres = flip zip [1..] -- on les numérote . nub -- on élimine les doublons . sort -- on les trie . map simple -- on ne garde que le type et la position $ listeEtagTot -- on part de la liste totale des étagères where simple (_arm,tpe,pos) = (tpe,pos) f n (t,p) = (n,t,p) -------------------------------- listeEtageres = flip zip [1..] -- on les numérote ∘nub -- on élimine les doublons ∘sort -- on les trie ∘map simple -- on ne garde que le type et la position $ listeEtagTot -- on part de la liste totale des étagères where simple (_arm,tpe,pos) = (tpe,pos) f n (t,p) = (n,t,p) ------------------------------------------- > Does your existing editor handle candy better? If so how? It doesn't handle them at all :) > Thanks for the feedback, please let us know if you think of anything else. This is an example of how i'm confused. In this example, I'm trying to load a single file. It's for test purposes only, I only need it made by ghc --make, I don't need a cabal package. $ cd code/euler $ leksah Euler.hs leksah loads with my previous package loaded. Here, I hoped it'd open the file I mentionned on the command line. Now, I need to close the package or workspace I'm working on, but I'm not sure which. as there's no such option in the Package menu, I suppose I have to close the workspace. I close it, but my source file remains open. I close it. Since I want to see if 'leksah file' works, I close leksah and I'm back at the shell. $ leksah Euler.hs I back again in leksah, this time with no package/workspace opened, but my Euler.hs file did not open either. back to the shell again $ leksah -v Leksah the Haskell IDE, version 0.8.0.6 $ leksah --help Leksah the Haskell IDE Usage: leksah [OPTION...] files... -v --version Show the version number of ide -l NAME --loadSession=NAME Load session -h --help Display command line options -e Verbosity --verbosity=Verbosity One of DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT, EMERGENCY According to this help, I should be able to give it a file on the commande line, but it seems it does nothing. No message to tell me what's wrong. Also, there's an option to load a session. What's a session ? the IDE tells of workspace and package, how is that related to sessions ? anyway, back to leksah. I open my file Euler.hs. I can't seem to use the browser if I don't define a package. I click several times the menu Package->New package, but nothing happens I click also Package->Edit package. After a few clicks, I try Package->Edit flags and leksah exits without warning. On the shell, I see ------ Needs an open workspace Needs an open workspace No active package to edit Needs an open workspace Needs an open workspace No active package to edit leksah: Can't get pane ***lost connection ***lost last connection - exiting leksah-server: ExitSuccess ***lost last connection - waiting ExitSuccess ---- So I understand why the package menus didn't work, but there was no alert while I was in leksah. And it did crash when I clicked on Package->Edit flags (reproductible) Now I create a workspace since I have to. On the browser I still don't have access to my file. Make workspace does nothing, and tells me nothing. I suspect I need a package. So I'm creating a package. When I click save, it creates a Main.hs file for me. Right now I'm kind of annoyed, I just wanted to edit Euler.hs, add another problem to it, compile, run, and get on with something else. That's usually where I close leksah, and lauch kate. For another programs (that compile fine with ghc --make), I didn't bother making the package. But I had to find out the package dependencies by building, checking where it fails, and trying to add a package to the dependency list. Maybe there's a better way, didn't find it. > As well as the google forum we now also have #leksah on IRC. I'm subscribed on the mailing list, it seems inactive. I'll find and have a look at the forum. David. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
