Arent there lots of lightwight text editors with syntax highlighting available already? Why add another one? To me creator shines since it understands the code I write. So some simple regular expression based syntax highlighting is not enough. Of course you can just take the C++ engine build into creator (just include cplusplus.pri into your project, it is meant to be reusable) and build a more light weight editor. Of course for the engine to work properly you need to provide it with information like which other files are there, where to look for files to include, etc. ... basically all the stuff that makes a project:-) > Most importantly, it must launch really fast.

Where does it take so much time? It feels pretty fast for me (less that 3s). I did have trouble with sluggish startup for a while on windows though. Turned out that my proxy setup in windows was to blame. Windows insisted on figuring out by waiting for a timeout that I do not need a proxy (automatic proxy configuration)... and it insisted on blocking while doing this:-/ -- Tobias Hunger Software Engineer Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks Nokia gate5 GmbH Firmensitz: Invalidenstr. 117, 10115 Berlin, Germany Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, Berlin: HRB 106443 B Umsatzsteueridentifikationsnummer: DE 812 845 193 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Michael Halbherr, Karim Tähtivuori _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
