Currently struggeling a bit with eric ide.
I've noticed some rough edges wich might be not too hard to clear out
if not done already.
The version I use is 3.7.0, so some of them may be alreaddy pronounced.
x. Debug --> Run Script
asks always for permission to save the script.
This is pretty unnecessary. Better would be to try to save it
anyway. Throw
an exception if it can't be saved. I as a user expect to debug the
script in its
current state not in unsaved state. Most of the time I end up
hitting enter one
time too often when the dialog is not popping up cos the script has
already been saved,
wich gives a pretty error prone newline somewhere in the middle of
nowhere.
A good way to handle this is an option <x automatically save open
files on exec>
x. Having a dialog box popping up when eric detects a currently open
file has been changed
outside the application is not very handy. An option <x
automatically reload files if changed
outside the application> would be better.
x. Its a bit irritating in splitter layout having these docking windows
popping
one open and one close when I trigger a script. Nice to have the
exception at hand,
but a pain for the eyes. I would prefere the left and right panes
just keeping the
size I put them to. Shaking the source code once from right to left
is making me dizzy :-)
Would be nice if these issues could be fixed. Would make the interface
slicker.
I know, writing an editor is pretty hard, writing a whole ide is
somewhere close
to suicide for a man on its own.
