I’m currently focusing on Project Manager L1 (Level 1) — See screenshot. Here is our feature list for L1 I want to discuss. Features are listed from highest to lowest priority. I’ll be updating the list as features are implemented. If you have some special requirements or feature requests, feel free to share them with us…

• Project / New Project creates a new project
• Files can be opened in editor by doubleclick
• Project file (Jasmine) is stored to root folder.
• Project Manager can be resized by dragging splitter.
• Project can be created by dropping a folder on the project manager.
• Project can be opened by dropping a project file or a folder with project file.
• Project can be opened by command line parameter –p
• Intype is associated with *.itProject files and opens project appropriately.
• Project / Open Project opens a project
• Project Manager can be hidden or shown by menu command, and by shortut F5.
• RELEASED Intype 0.3.1.598 Unstable

-

• Project file can be switched off (Temporary Project)
• Project structure can be refreshed by Refresh (Ctrl+R) command from PM’s popup menu. (99% done)
• Intype remembers opened project and/or tabs in session configuration and optionally opens them back at startup.
• RELEASE .652

-

• Files and Folders can be managed by context menu.
• Files or Folders can be deleted (removes file or folder from HDD).
• RELEASE

-

• Files and Folders can be dragged and moved in the structure.
• Files can be opened in Intype by drop to editor.
• All files in folder can be opened by popup menu command.
• Files and Folders can be excluded from project.
• RELEASE

-

Further features:

• Project file can optionally contain a path to different location, and the file will be stored in user/project folder (Remote Project).

Is it possible to include an option that would tell Intype to watch project directory tree for changes? Particularly addition of new files so creating them in another application would mean that they automatically appear in the PM?

Just a couple of comments:

• F5 is generally the refresh key in Windows – all web browsers use this as does Windows Explorer, the Desktop, the shell and lots of other programs. Maybe it would be better to have F5 refresh the project structure and another hotkey to open it – or maybe F5 could open it if it’s closed and refresh it if it’s already open?
• Folder watching for new files – double yes!
• Also, native icons please – this isn’t just for aesthetics – things like the icon overlays for subversion would be very useful to see in the PM

Thanks again!

dflock: Also, native icons please – this isn’t just for aesthetics – things like the icon overlays for subversion would be very useful to see in the PM

Yeah, that is also my concern. But aesthetics is an important matter as well. I think that applications should visually blend with the system as much as possible.

As for the Tortoise SVN overlays support, it can’t work without the explorer’s popup menu. However, we have other stuff prepared for integration with utilities like Tortoise SVN/CVS.

Keep up the good work!

• Project Manager before opening a project
• Project Manager with opened project
• Project Manager closed

Roadmap updated.

A few issues:

• Scrolling in the Project Manager bit is a little off, it thinks the section is slightly larger than it is.
• Closing a project doesn’t set the manager back to default — it still has the title of the project. Hiding the pm and opening it again does however.

It’s looking really promising though, and it’s nice to see that you’ve released it as soon as you had something to show. :-)

I’m used to command line (compiler, debugging and so on) and really hate the hard structure imposed by software like Komodo or even Visual Studio.

I was thinking add Intype to PATH and then fire: intype . to open a new project taking the current folder as root.

But I found that I must use the -p parameter and .itProject files get created inside the root folders…

Even I didn’t use TextMate, find the lack of project file appealing.

Maybe that could be possible?

intype .

Will open a document with the name of the folder where “.” was issued.

intype -p .

Will create a ..itProject (note the double dots).

For now, I want to stick with the current scheme for few weeks, until the features around PM are fully implemented and then I’ll start working on different types of projects.

And one more thing: I’m starting work on Bundles Editor along with PM. I’ll create similar thread for it.

martincohen: .itProject will have also (optionally) stored path to project root in it. In that case, the project file will be stored in user/projects folder (this will help Intype searching for project roots for some features mentioned above).

Perfect, that’s exactly what I was after.

martincohen: The project file is only for marking the project root, and many features (such as opening a file that belongs to project) will use it. It will also be used for storing project configuration (excluded files, opened files, default files setup, etc.). However, I have no problem with adding no-project file option to create temporary projects that will lack all the features bound to the PM. .itProject will have also (optionally) stored path to project root in it. In that case, the project file will be stored in user/projects folder (this will help Intype searching for project roots for some features mentioned above).

Is good to know there will be workarounds.

Great! Looking forward the bundle editor! (Wanted to add some syntax grammars for FreeBASIC and still confused how to achieve it…).

:-D

Or could we open 2 Intype application window?
I try to run another Intype, it goes to the opened one.

• when I double-click on a .itProject file with intype already open, intype create un empty tab named “-p”
• the project manager list it associated .itProject file

Jack Legs: some bugs with .itProject files :

• when I double-click on a .itProject file with intype already open, intype create un empty tab named “-p”
• the project manager list it associated .itProject file

I confirm this bug. Happens for me as well.

Will the project manager automatically update when changes are made to the file structure? say, when a file is added or deleted outside of Intype?
