Codetch 0.3.6 [20051230]
This release fixes some things I missed in the last one, like the weird default black background. Also added was the de-DE langauge set. Still many more bug fixes to do and features to add to Codetch in this next year. It was actualy around this time a year ago that I discovered XUL and made plans to create my own code editor, hehe. Well, here’s to 2006. Happy New Year!

At first I think codetch is a extension for thunderbird,can be used to write html letter.
but perhaps it just be an editor?and there is no relation with thunderbird?

Just tried out your extension, and it looks nice, but does the preview window not support javascript? I edited a file and then tried to see the effect of some javascript but it would not show in the preview window. I had to open the file in another tab to get the js to work. Also, whenever I try to create a new document it gives an alert with “opener.codetch has no properties”. Other than that nice extension.

It doesn’t work for me. I got Firefox 1.5 but after adding Codetech on the extensions window and restarting I got a big blank area under the status bar about an inch high displaying something like “

Weide, not really any direct relation, though you could use it from Thunderbird.
Ibrahim, yeah, the preview for .html files doesn’t execute any javascript. But you can launch an external preview from within Codetch to see the full effects of your page. Also, if you could sceenshot that error it would be a tremendous help.
JordiTR, your message got cut off, could you send me an email or screenshot of it? What langauge are you using?

Just installed Codetch on Fx15 with -install-global-extension. It looks pretty good, but I have a funny problem: File->New give me a popup, I slect a document type, then clicking “Ok” is simply ignored.
And there is a JS error on startup of Codetch:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception… “Component returned failure code: 0×80520006 (NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST) [nsILocalFile.isDirectory]” nsresult: “0×80520006 (NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST)” location: “JS frame :: chrome://codetch/content/scripts/initfiles.js :: getExtDefaultsPath :: line 26″ data: no]
Any help would be appreciated!

Got Linux support working I see… Still doing some funny things when it loads - warnings on something or other. Anyway, just wanted to drop a line of congrats and let you know I’m still following the project…
I was looking towards what you might use to add some more advanced features and Scite came into my mind. We are using it for quite a different project and quite by accedent. But it seems that Komodo is embedding Scite so apparently there is that possability. I’ve not seen where you started a thread for feature requests and this is probably the wrong place. But the way you do line numbering leaves a lot to be desired. Scite would allow everything from line numbers to autocomplete from what I understand. Not exactly the easy way out but it seems that there has been sucess embedding it before.
Again, contact me if you can use my help compiling on Linux. I don’t have a lot of time to spare but I could sic one of my boys on it for a day or two if you still don’t have a Linux machine handy…

Reinhard, it seems that the templates might not have been installed properly. They should install to the profile directory, so I’m not sure how global install would afect that, but it might be cause of the problem.
Frink, I should assert that any Linux support acheived is purely coincidental, or guesswork :). So your offer would be greatly appreciated. As soon as I can get CVS up and working and have time to do so, it should be a tremendous help with others wanting to help and contribute, so look out for that. I haven’t seen Scite before, but I will definitely have to research it and hopefully find that integration is possible with Codetch. It sounds sweet though!
Of course any feature requests can be made (and have been) usually on latest release posts, so feel free.
Thanks

Oh, I think there is a problem with that language pack. I’ll try to root it out, thanks.

what the hell is codetch ?
a text editor ?
where are the doc pages ?
May 17th, 2006 at 1:31 pm
Yes, it is currently a text editor and a rich text editor, with additional editors planned for the future. The ideal is for it to be expanded to any editing enviroment via plugins. But that’s a target for later versions. Hopefully I can get the wiki and documentation up to help new comers. Good news is that it’s summer now, so I can dedicate more time and concentration to the project.
