View Edit







View Edit is yet another simple text editor that uses GtkSourceView2.


[ Feature ]
  • Basic Project support ( but doesn't use autotools/autoconf yet )
  • Basic configuration for ( Java, Vala )
The project support features only organizes your source/files it doesn't know anything about the project you're going to make ( Except for java and vala ).
So you still have to provide information like:

  • Compiler
  • Command to execute after the build process
  • Libraries to link against

Below is small documentation for setting up a new project using View Edit:


------[ Project Info ]-----------------------------------------------

Identifier Tag

An identifier tag has in the form of "{keyword}".
Identifier is used to identify project and folder path at runtime.
At runtime, tags will be replaced with the appropriate project info.
At the moment only ( 3 ) identifier tag is available.

Below are the lists:

{bin} - Every project created will have a "bin" folder by default and is invisible
to the project browser.

Will be replaced with:

"/absolute/path/to/project/folder/bin"

e.g.:

"/home/user/Desktop/ProjectFolder/bin"


{base} - The absolute path to your project folder.

Will be replaces with:

"/absolute/path/to/project/folder"

e.g.:

"/home/user/Desktop/ProjectFolder"


{project} - This will be replace with your project name.


Identifier tags are just a convenience method for your project and therefore not
mandatory. You can still specify and absolute command if you wish.



------[ Library Info ]-----------------------------------------------

Iterate Through Library List


If enabled, the option/argument entered int the Option/Library Argument entry
will be used multiple times depending on the number of libraries you
specified in the Libraries Tab.

Note : the "{libname}" must be present in the Option/Library Argument entry.

e.g.:

Option/Argument :

`--pkg-config {libname}`

Libraries Entered :

"gtk-2.0" "glib-2.0" "somelib-2.0"

Output :

`--pkg-config gtk-2.0` `--pkg-config glib-2.0` `--pkg-config somelib-2.0`


If disabled ( by default ), the option/argument in the Option/Library Argument
entry will be used as is but the libraries you specified will be concatenated in to
one string.

e.g.:

`--pkg-config gtk-2.0 glib-2.0 glib-2.0`

The {libname} is not mandatory you can still provide your own --cflags if you want.
{libname} will only be required if you want View Edit to iterate through the library lists for you.
