CSS Groups in E-texteditor

7 Jun

Press CTRL+SHIFT+B, open CSS folder then CSS language (with a black L on it, usually is last). Go to line 286 and find this:

"foldingStopMarker" : "(?<!\\*)\\*\\*/|^\\s*\\}",
"comment" : "",
"foldingStartMarker" : "/\\*\\*(?!\\*)|\\{\\s*($|/\\*(?!.*?\\*/.*\\S))",

Replace with this:

   "foldingStopMarker" : "(?<!\\*)\\*\\*/|^\\s*\\}|\/*\\s*@end\\s*\\*\/",
   "comment" : "",
   "foldingStartMarker" : "/\\*\\*(?!\\*)|\\{\\s*($|/\\*(?!.*?\\*/.*\\S))|\/\\*\\s*@group\\s*.*\\s*\\*\/",

E-texteditor is slow?

30 May

Today I had a very annoying problem: E-texteditor was slow as hell. Besides that, he had over 50% cpu used. Uhm.. Ok, something is wrong when a simple text editor (ok, not so simple, but you get the point) is using CPU so intensive. I looked on forum and I found next solution (which actually works!).

1) First of all we need to make sure E is not opened (eventually look in Task Manager) and a command prompt: press win+r, then type cmd and press enter.
2) After that, you need to go where E is installed. Mine was (and still is :) ) in : c:\Program Files (x86)\e. If you have a 32bit windows, I guess you will find in c:\Program Files\e. Anyhow, the fastest way to find it is to right click on the E shortcut, choose properties then click on “find target” big ass button.
3) Next (and last) step is to launch the editor. So just type: e.exe --clearstate --clearundo

That’s all. Now I have a real speed boost and no extra CPU usage :)

ATTENTION!

Even though this is a good speed improvement, you will loose ALL undo and all opened files. So do this when you actually KNOW what are you doing ;)

E-texteditor and open source

26 Mar

Yes, is somehow true. E-texteditor goes open source. Or something like that. From Alexander blog post i extracted this:

  • The source will be made available in few days;
  • Even though the source will be public, the software will not be.. free. Licensing code will not be public
  • Yes, there will be (finally!) a linux version. Which will be free :)

I can only hope that the TEAM will work on three aspects: stability (a lot of bug fixes), speed (sometimes i encounter some “slow motion” when i open large files; also, on old computers will simply… won’t work) and networking (FTP client can be better than that). Also, a 64 bit version would be nice :D

Let’s wait and see the evolution of the new Open Company.
