Note: This is a first post to our development News category. The News category will be the place when we post updates, screenshots, and status of the current features, so you can see what’s going on and, of course discuss. The category is only for us — the developers — so please use other categories to post your discussions. Though, we encourage you to post any comments or ideas for the topics.
Along with development of AFW (our UI framewrok) we are also updating some current features to fit better your requests. The Search is one of them and this is the design notes to be achieved in 0.3.5:
Sounds great – you don’t mention search highlighting but I know it’s been talked about before and I hope it’s going to be implemented :)
Really looking forward to 0.3.5 – it’s sounding like a really exiting release – and I’m really liking the increased communication from the team – great to hear what’s going on!
Maybe you could copy & paste these News posts onto the Blog as well – I think that would be a good idea.
Thanks for info, martin. It’s also interesting to know your time estimation for release with javascript integrated into Intype (will it be 0.3.5 ?).
sound great!
but isn’t Quick find and Incremental search should be in the same feature?
dflock:
mvm: Yes, the first JS API will be available in 0.3.5. I’ll we writing about it here as well.
Yarden: Well, Firefox is using Quick Find bar for Incremental searching, however, there’s a slight difference between editor and viewer (what firefox actually is). We have separated these features for now, until we do some user testing with it, and find whether to merge
the two will be a good idea.
By search highlighting, I mean highlighting the matching results in the document, preferably as you type, like this
dflock: Yeah, this feature is actually possible, but the real usability is disputable. We are planning to do some tests to ensure that such feature is reasonable.
Well, I like it and find it useful, if that makes any difference. I find that it makes writing regular expression searches hugely easier if you can see what your regex is matching as you go along.
Are there any plans to introduce a Dreamweaver like “search results” panel, that will list all the matches found/replacements made in the most recent search/replace, and allow you to jump straight to them? If not, could this be implemented as a plugin perhaps? I find this feature really useful.
JSleight: yep
taz.beta: Also, I don’t realy know if it is in plan, but breakpoints will be a great feature.
As in debugger breakpoints? This would require a debugger which is somewhat outside the scope of a text editor.
taz.beta: Well, it’s called “Bookmarks”. And yes, it’s planned along with code folding.
ben_a_morrison: The global find/replace (meaning search in files, project, opened files) is currently most required feature. However, we’d first like to have all critical JavaScript stuff ready in 0.4 (approx. August ’08). So currently the Global Search is planned to be included with 0.5 (approx. September ’08).
