Hi guys,
somebody knows why code folding is not available in json files? I always get an error saying:
Code selection doesn’t work when folding is off
I neither know where to find this option nor why it works in every other type of file - except json.
I just know that the folding-line on the left of the editor is not available when working with json files.
Thanks for any tips,
regards Daniel
Hi, please ensure folding is turned on in Edit > Preferences > Editing > Smart Editing > Folding.
That’s odd. I have JSON folding working in a stock Komodo install. Do you still have a problem when you restart Komodo in safe mode? Help > Troubleshooting > Restart in Safe Mode.
Hi mitchell,
yes, still not working in safe mode - although i got another error saying:
Cannot run code for this type of file please select a supported language
It’s just a pure simple json file, bracket highlighting also works so i see no problem why block selection shouldn’t.
Hi, I have a simple JSON file too. I put the caret on line two, select Edit > Select > Select Block, and get the expected result. Screenshots below for context. Would you please share the content of your Help > Troubleshooting > View Log File?
Sure:

I had to copy the text manually from the text file because everytime i tried to STRG+C via the troubleshooting window log, Komodo became unresponsive for about 20 seconds…don’t know whats going on here…
Okay, there’s nothing in the log that indicates an issue with block selection. Does this happen in any JSON file? For example, the one in my screenshot?
Your json file is working.
I have a larger json file with a few megabytes, it’s a valid and well formed geoJson file. You can test it on your own:
Hi, Komodo automatically loads large files as plain text and shows you a dialog indicating so (unless you had previously checked the “do not notify me again” box). Once you explicitly set the language to JSON, you’ll get syntax highlighting, folding, and then Edit > Select > Select Block.
Thanks mitchell, that did the trick.
I haven’t seen that komodo automatically displayed this as plain text.
Is there any way do define the size from when komodo displays files as text only?
Hi, it doesn’t look like this is configurable. However, you can get the Komodo prompt back by unchecking Edit > Preferences > Editor > Confirmation Dialogs > Do not alert me when a large buffer will be treated as plain text.
