Re: .syntax file syntax changed since 4.5.4x?
Hello! I'm porting my .syntax hilite files from AMC (uses syntax code from 4.5.4x) and found that the /nn number codes has gone. I've never understood their purpose but all my syntax files contains them after each color code. They are gone precisely for that reason - because they serve no purpose for mc. The color after the slash is for cooledit. The color before the slash is for mcedit. I only left the colors for cooledit when they had names, e.g. Orange. In this case I knew that the choice of the color was intentional. Numbers like 24 were often wrong, so I removed them. The syntax didn't change, I just didn't want to force everybody to provide the colors for Cooledit just because everybody is doing it. If you care about Cooledit, the separate color set is welcome, as long as you use meaningful color names and you have tested the ruleset with Cooledit. If you don't care about Cooledit, then please don't pretend that you do. If you haven't tested the ruleset with Cooledit, then please remove the numbers. After some more RTFM i've found opposite things written. It's fixed now. Thank you. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
Re: .syntax file syntax changed since 4.5.4x?
Hello! Imho this thing should be cleaned up for 4.6.0, either remove numbers or color names or at least fix the manpage to explain what are them, instead of having examples using numbers and description using color names. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against fixing all you have mentioned (in this mail and others) - but we REALLY HAVE to release 4.6.0 as fast as we can - many people (like you before) still believe that 4.55 is the last official release, that the whole gmc-thing is still there and that mc is unmaintained and sucks. I agree with you, but this documentation problem is my fault. I overlooked this when I was changing the documentation about syntax highlighting. It won't take much time to fix. So we should have stable 4.6.0, and then merge your patches from amc (some of them are quite useful) or fix color handling. Pavel, now that you resolved the Italian .po problem, are there any problems that could slow down the 4.6.0 release? The problem was with Slovenian .po, not Italian. If you mean the growing help files, it was fixed before 4.6.0-pre3. I asked GNOME translators to update the translations and I wrote that the deadline is January 31. I'm waiting for major bugreports until then, so that we don't have anything like the AltGr bug in 4.6.0. I also want to do more testing on 64-bit systems (thanks for the pointer, by the way). So far I only tested Debian systems on Alpha and Itanium. I also want to do some testing on HP-UX and FreeBSD/Alpha. I'll be primarily interested in compile problems and warnings that indicate real problems. It looks like that I'll be busy next weekend, so the real release date will be most likely Monday, February 3. Please be assured that I do what I can to make the next release stable and reliable. I'm not resting - I have a lot of things to do, not all of which are related to mc, unfortunately. There is no specific problem that would prevent the release. I'm quite confident that we are one week from the 4.6.0 release. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

Hi, I agree with you, but this documentation problem is my fault. I overlooked this when I was changing the documentation about syntax highlighting. It won't take much time to fix.

Please fix the src/key.c::is_idle() select()-related bug, it's very annoying especially when running long file searches.

Re: .syntax file syntax changed since 4.5.4x?
Hi,
I'm porting my .syntax hilite files from AMC (uses syntax code from 4.5.4x)
and found that the /nn number codes has gone. I've never understood their
purpose but all my syntax files contains them after each color code.
-keyword $(*) yellow
-keyword ${*} brightgreen
+keyword $(*) yellow/24
+keyword ${*} brightgreen/16
Should I remove them, or it doesn't matter?
After some more RTFM i've found opposite things written.
In the Syntax file, the comment says:
# syntax rules version 62
# (after the slash is a Cooledit color, 0-26 or any of the X colors in rgb.txt)
While the english manpage has examples, for example:
keyword whole static 24
keyword whole extern 24
keyword {14
keyword }14
keyword '*' 6
followed by:
The possible colors are: black, gray, red, brightred,
green, brightgreen, brown, yellow, blue, brightblue,
magenta, brightmagenta, cyan, brightcyan, lightgray and
white.
Imho this thing should be cleaned up for 4.6.0, either remove numbers or
color names or at least fix the manpage to explain what are them, instead
of having examples using numbers and description using color names.
