We made a lot of changes in 9.3, some of which will change the way you work with or perceive Komodo. A lot of these changes were made with us thinking “if people don’t like it, they can tell us when they try the pre-release and we can revert it/change it”. So with that in mind; tell us - what do you like, and what don’t you like?
I don’t like how errors and warning are implemented now. If you’re using Pylint and PEP8, once you make a mistake in the code formatting or something different that causes a warning in Pylint or PEP8, those notifications start spamming until I close them 3 times (after that I get “Repeat notifications truncated bla-bla-bla”)
I like the changes except for a minor point - the warnings and errors pop-up while I am typing and tell me that there is some kind of syntax error or other and it is only because I hadn’t finished the statement. Couldn’t there be some kind of timer for these things so they don’t appear until after I stop typing or I have finished the line of code? It’s like when someone tries to finish my sentences while I am still talking which is a pet peeve of mine.
Just started using 9.3 Nightly. But now when I ctrl+click on a function (php) it no longer goes to the definition. I see the purple underline, and the preview of the function definition pops up on hover, and right clicking and going to “Go to definition” still works.
Did this functionality change? Or is this a bug?
(I like the general improvements, especially the updates to the search. Is there any way to default the search setting to not be case sensitive?)
Yes, it remembers the setting. But every time I restart Komodo/computer, it reverts back to case-sensitive search. (Which is why I am interested if there was a setting for this that I just didn’t see)
Thanks, for some reason I just ran through the procedures to reproduce this error (case sensitivity preference), and it seems like it’s fine. Very odd.
As said about the bottom pane; this won’t be a native feature. Thanks for reminding me though, I’ll try and find some time to make an addon for this.
Splitting off open files pane to an addon - As said in that thread it already is an addon, it just isn’t in its own repository. Will look into it but it isn’t really something that should stop anyone from contributing if they know where the files are.
Add syntax checking to notify - This is in the 9.3 nightly as we speak
Too late for 9.3 I’m afraid, could you file an enhancement request and detail what should be added? Key/value seems to be the only real identifiers in an .ini file to me… ?
